Now providers are calling to ask for copies if I am not having our employees entered and scanned by the clinic. Either way did that decision save any money if it is making more work for the  staff who is paid by the hour?

For those of you who have separate OH EMRs, are you transmitting vaccine (eg. flu vaccine) records to EPIC? Specifically, in case of COVID-19 vaccine, where will you be storing vaccine records?
