Virtual Hallway's 'Notes' Simplifies Your Clinical Documentation
In a clinician’s day packed with patient consultations, impromptu discussions with colleagues, and countless phone calls, the challenge isn’t just about capturing patient encounter details—it's about efficiently documenting the myriad of interactions that inform patient care. That's where the "Notes" feature in the Virtual Hallway mobile app comes in, offering a straightforward solution to a common, yet critical, aspect of medical practice.
Keeping Track Made Simple
At its core, "Notes" is all about being able to capture clinical notes whenever you need them. With a few quick taps on your phone, you can open a new note, jot down information from any interaction, and even include essential patient details, no matter where you are. It's this ease of use that transforms your mobile device into a powerful tool for secure, compliant documentation on the go.
User Experience at Its Best
Designed with the hectic schedule of healthcare professionals in mind, "Notes" prioritizes user-friendly functionality. Whether you’re capturing consultation notes, patient observations, or even billing details, the process is intuitive. For those moments when typing is too cumbersome, voice-to-text input allows you to speak your notes into existence, ensuring that your focus remains on patient care.
Practical Applications in Daily Practice
From a quick consult in the hospital corridor to an unexpected call about a patient while you’re out of the office, "Notes" has you covered. This feature is particularly handy for documenting those bits of information that are crucial for comprehensive patient care but might not make it into the EMR until much later—if at all. It’s about making sure that every piece of information has its place, securely and accessibly.
Technical Features That Stand Out
Beyond its basic note-taking capability, "Notes" offers functionalities like autofaxing to send documents directly where they need to go, ensuring that patient care continuity is maintained. The secure and compliant framework of the app means you can trust that patient information is handled with the utmost care.
The Future Is Now
With upcoming enhancements like automated billing, "Notes" is set to become even more integral to the daily operations of a medical practice. It’s about not just keeping up with the pace of healthcare but staying a step ahead, ensuring that both clinicians and patients benefit from the efficiency and accuracy it brings.
How to Get Started
Dive into a smoother workflow today by downloading the Virtual Hallway app and exploring the "Notes" feature. It’s designed to fit seamlessly into your practice, offering a simple yet effective way to capture the important interactions that shape patient care.
The "Notes" feature by Virtual Hallway shows how small tools can make significant impacts in the healthcare field. It’s time to move beyond scattered sticky notes and disjointed documentation—embrace the simplicity and security of capturing clinical interactions with Virtual Hallway’s mobile app.
Managing documentation is important but can be burdensome. We've introduced Autofax to make document management simple. This innovative addition allows you to automatically send reports to a designated fax number, creating a seamless link between your consultations and office document management system.
If your fax number is linked to your Electronic Medical Record (EMR), Autofax offers even greater convenience, ensuring your consultation records are integrated swiftly into your patient management system.

For more customized control, you can manually decide the destination of individual consultation reports:
We're confident that the Autofax feature will significantly enhance your experience on Virtual Hallway, making it easier than ever to manage your consultations and documentation. Happy consulting!
As a specialist, you can decide on the length of your consults as well as how far in advance practitioners must book.
To adjust these preferences:
You can connect a fax number to your Virtual Hallway account so that you can send documents directly from your Virtual Hallway account to your fax number.
