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.

Important Notes:

Documents sent to the Patient Portal cannot be rescinded
Deleting a document that was sent to the patient from the patient's documents tab will also delete the document in the Patient Portal
