Though creating new forms is always an option, Accuro’s searchable form repository gives you access to thousands of existing forms created by clinics like yours. Forms can be previewed and downloaded for immediate use, or edited to suit your specific needs. Here’s how to get started:

Instructions:

1. Navigate to the Form Editor in one of two ways:
   
   1. Accuro Start Menu / Tools / Form Editor, OR
   2. Press 'Alt' and search Form Editor
2. The ‘Edit Repliforms’ window will open; click on ‘Tools’ at the top, and then ‘Publish/Download.’
3. The ‘Form Publisher’ window will open with the 'Download Forms’ tab already selected.
4. Type in keywords from the form you’re looking for and click the magnifying glass (search button).
5. Select your form from the results pane and click 'Preview' to view it.
6. To download, select the form and click ‘Download.’ You’ll see a ‘Form downloaded successfully’ message when complete.
7. Click ‘Close.’ The form will now appear in the ‘Edit Repliforms’ window under the category in which it was published.

Search Tips:

• Try each keyword in the form title. One at a time will give broad results; several at a time will narrow the results.
• The footer may also have keywords that can be searched.
• Be aware that spaces before or after a word may change the results.
• In some cases, multiple users may have published the same form. If you see more than one version of the form you’re looking for, check all results to ensure you get exactly what you need.
• Check the date on the form background (not the upload date) to find the most current version.
• To search all published forms, click the search button without entering any keywords. (This may take some time, depending on your internet speed).
• ‘Category’ and ‘Publisher’ can also be used to get different search results.
• If you don’t find the form in the repository, search the internet for a clean PDF version before creating it within Accuro. Almost all lab and government forms are available online.

Faxing is an interesting topic. In most industries, faxing has been replaced with newer technologies, so much so that it's almost eradicated. With healthcare, we see faxing as one of the most heavily used forms of communication between Providers, Pharmacies, and third parties. Newer solutions are less available to the market for a variety of reasons and due to the nature of the data being transmitted, simpler forms of communication, like email, can't be used.

Though we ultimately want to reduce the need to rely on faxing by introducing services like ePrescribing and Provider to Provider Messaging, we know there is a long path ahead. In the meantime, we’re committed to making faxing as easy as possible.

You may not know that you can send multiple items within a single fax, select the order of the Chart Items, and even remove excess pages you don't want (for example, old Fax Cover Sheets). Today we’ll show you how.

To Fax Multiple Items and Change Item Order:

1. Go to EMR, then Virtual Chart.
2. Hold the CTRL Key (or Command for Mac users) and click on each of the Chart Items you need to fax.
3. Right Click and select Fax.
4. On the left-hand side of the Recipients window that appears, select an item and use the blue Move Up and Move Down arrows to rearrange the order.
5. Add your Recipient and click Send.

Another thing you can do here is remove unnecessary pages from your fax before you click Send. For example, you may want to remove Fax Cover Sheets from Chart Items so they don't get faxed to your recipient.  You can do this by clicking on the blue icon that looks like a piece of paper with a check mark. Drag and Drop the pages you don't want to the Removed Pages.

To Remove Unwanted Pages:

1. Click on the blue icon that looks like a piece of paper with a check mark
2. Drag and drop the pages you don't want to the Removed Pages.

It’s that easy!
