Does anyone know a way to email a patient's orders from the chart? We would like to start emailing radiology orders to the hospitals. Right now we have to click on the order, click print, choose provider form, and fax.

My first thought is how would you ensure confidentiality and authenticity of an email?
Creating an outbound orders interface isn't difficult if you can set up a connection (usually VPN) with your hospitals. Many hospitals have IT staff that specialize in creating and managing interfaces.
If you're stuck with faxing, it's also pretty easy to set up a fax modem on a server so anyone can send faxes. Windows Server has (or used to have) a simple fax server built in. I haven't set it up since Windows 2003 or so though. Not sure what's changed.

Perhaps you can create a custom form that will pull in the order information in the chart note then use Direct Secure Email via the Secure Messaging you already have. I'd think that would be a way to email them securely. Let me know if you want to chat.
