What are Categories?

The use of categories varies depending on the EHR software that your practice uses. EHR systems typically use categories to organize documents. For example, there may be a category for Care Summaries or Faxes.

Some EHR systems pre-define which categories you can use; whereas, others may let you define the categories in this application that coincide with the categories you set up in the EHR system.

If your EHR lets you define the categories, you’ll select the category to assign during the document import process.
