One Solution to Fit Your Unique Requirements

Both clinical and non-clinical staff will benefit from high-volume report/fax distribution, electronic desktop faxing, inbound fax management and a wide variety of delivery options.  

Communication Director integrates with most EHRs, MFPs, email clients, clinical applications and back-office systems so you only need to maintain one faxing system. With the options of traditional fax, cloud-based faxing or both, Communication Director is a powerful, highly flexible solution that can be customized to accommodate the right delivery methods for you and your recipients.
Communication Director integrates with most applications.

From Email, Windows Applications and EHR/EMR

Paperless Desktop Faxing

Eliminates the need to manually print and fax! Simply send faxes directly from your EHR/EMR, email client or use Communication Director DesktopFax to fax from any program that uses windows printing. Communication Director provides email-to-fax from Microsoft Outlook® Exchange, Google Gmail and most IMAP/POP3 email systems. Direct integration to MEDITECH and Epic streamlined faxing workflows and fax status right in the EHR.

Communication Director allows for shared phone books and cover pages to ensure your staff can fax to the correct recipients on demand. Plus, you get the added benefit of an audit trail in the Communication Director System Activity Monitor (SAM).

Electronic Desktop Faxing

Eliminates the need to manually print and fax! Simply send faxes directly from your EHR/EMR or any program that uses windows printing. Communication Director DesktopFax allows for shared phone books and cover pages to assure your staff is able to fax to the correct recipients on demand. Plus, you get the added benefit of an audit trail in our System Activity Monitor.

Intelligent, Automated Report and Fax Distribution

Communication Director utilizes SmartRoute Technology to extract key information from a report and automatically determine if, how, and when the report should be delivered based on the unique requirements of your recipients. Take advantage of automation:
  • Communication Director automatically receives information in many formats such as post-script, readable PDF, FCL, PCL and more
  • Accommodate your recipients’ preferences with a wide-range of optional delivery modules
  • Physicians will benefit from the ability to decide which PHI or reports they want to receive – unlike the “all or nothing” capabilities of some EHRs
