How to Enable Automatic Lab Importing in Amazing Charts

When a lab vendor sends results to your practice, Amazing Charts can import them automatically at a set interval. Once this is turned on, new results show up without anyone going to the Import/Export menu.

This guide walks through turning on the Import Labs Automatically task.

Before you begin

Time needed About 2 minutes

Tip: 15 minutes is the shortest interval available, so choose it if you want results to arrive as quickly as possible. You can also pick a mailbox under Message to receive a summary of any lab results that fail to import.

What happens next

Lab results sent by your vendors will now import on their own at the interval you chose. You no longer need to import them manually from File > Import/Export > Labs & Radiology on the main screen.
