Practice can share uploaded documents with patients via the Patient Portal to provide patients access to their health information.

The practice should establish their own policies regarding who can send patient documents because any user with access to the patient's documents can send documents to the patient. Before sending the documents, users should verify the document is accurate and can be shared with the selected patient.

Patient documents can be sent for one specific patient from the patient's Documents tab. Or multiple documents can be sent at the same time to the corresponding patients the documents are associated with from the Documents page.

Notes:

Documents sent to the Patient Portal cannot be unshared. To remove a document for the Patient Portal, the file must be deleted from the patient's documents.
Patients will not receive a notification when documents are shared.
