AdvancedMDCloud Faxing that integrates with 
AthenaHealth
Faxes arrive as readable documents, not a stack of paper. DashQuill reads each one, summarizes it, and routes it to the provider who needs it. Filing it to an AthenaHealth chart takes one click. There is no printer, no scanner, and no machine in the back office.
How it works
Faxing is not going away in healthcare. The paper handling around it is what can go.
Port your number
Keep the fax number referring offices and pharmacies already have, or start fresh with a new one. No hardware is involved either way.
Faxes arrive read and sorted
Each inbound fax is summarized, tagged, and routed to a provider or virtual inbox, so a referral is never sitting in a shared queue.
File to the chart
Confirm the AthenaHealth patient and import the document. Nothing is printed, rescanned, or saved to a workstation along the way.
What practices say
DashQuill has streamlined our front-desk intake with an intuitive, all-in-one platform that keeps our team from bouncing between cumbersome technology stacks. Their team is consistently responsive and supportive and the dedicated domains make external sharing of forms simple and professional.
DashQuill came through for us when we desperately needed help. Across our 70+ providers, their AI system sorts up to 120,000 faxes a month, turning what used to be a huge burden on our staff into something fast and reliable.
Partnering with DashQuill has been a game-changer for our practice. Their seamless integration into our EHR system brought immediate improvements in workflow efficiency, reducing administrative burden and allowing our team to focus more on patient care.
I've been using DashQuill's HIPAA-compliant forms with my EHR, Practice Fusion, and I'm very happy with them. The forms are easy for patients to complete and seamlessly integrate into my workflow.
Before DashQuill, we had to manually create a contact for every patient in our secure texting system. Now that contacts sync automatically from our EHR, we can reach out instantly without any setup. It's made patient communication far more convenient.
DashQuill cut our paperwork to near zero. Patient forms now flow directly into our EHR system, saving our team hours each week and streamlining check-ins. Implementation was painless, and within days our forms were auto-uploading.
DashQuill was recommended to us, and within two weeks we completed online training and went live. Tim and John provided excellent support throughout the process, and we appreciate that our calls are answered promptly whenever assistance is needed.
The tagging system in DashQuill Faxing has made it so much easier to stay organized. We can quickly sort and find faxes by type or patient, and it's been a huge help for our office. Really glad this feature is built in.
When our office got very busy during COVID in 2020, DashQuill's patient forms were a lifesaver. They made it easy to speed up our entire intake process, which saved our staff countless hours and helped us keep up with the surge in patients. We still use the same setup today.
The EHR integration for messaging has been great. It's so convenient having all our patient texts connected directly to their charts. We had a few hiccups when hosting our phone number, but the DashQuill team was incredibly helpful and got everything sorted quickly.
With DashQuill's faxing, we turned a paper-heavy process into a fast, digital workflow. Now we have less printing, fewer errors, and more time to spend with patients.
Runs inside athenaOne, not beside it
A Chrome extension adds a DashQuill button to the athenaOne top bar. Click it and Forms, Faxes, Chats or Meet open over the page you already have open.
- One button in the athenaOne header, with an unread count
- Opens as a window you can resize, move and minimise
- Same AthenaHealth login, no second tab or password
- Installed in minutes with a page reload; we walk you through it on a call
Inboxes that match how the practice is organized
One shared fax queue works until you have more than a couple of providers. Provider and virtual inboxes, tags, and a resolved status let you tell what has been handled and what is still waiting.
- Provider and virtual inboxes rather than a single pile
- Tags assigned by an AI decision tree, plus resolved and unresolved tracking
- Search the inbox by patient name, date of birth or document type, all extracted by AI
- Annotate, fill and sign without a separate PDF tool
PHI stops passing through workstations
The usual fax workflow leaves copies on a scanner, in a downloads folder, and in an email. Importing straight from the fax inbox into the AthenaHealth chart removes those intermediate copies.
- Import fax files directly into the AthenaHealth chart
- No download-then-upload loop for staff
- Nothing left behind on a shared workstation
- Create referrals from the AthenaHealth chart and send them out

Questions we get asked first
The things AthenaHealth practices want settled before a demo.
Can we keep our current fax number?
Yes. Numbers can be ported, so nobody who sends you referrals needs to update anything. Running a new number in parallel during the switch is also possible.
Are inbound faxes matched to AthenaHealth patients automatically?
Automatic patient matching is a Practice Fusion capability today. On AthenaHealth, a staff member selects the patient and imports the document. The AI still reads and summarizes each fax, so you are not opening every page to work out what it is.
Can we fax a whole chart out?
Not yet on AthenaHealth. Individual documents can be faxed, and referrals can be created from the chart. Sending the full chart in one action is still in development.
Do we need a fax line or a machine?
No. It is entirely cloud-based, with no analog line, no hardware, and no toner. Staff work from the browser, which is what lets documents move into the chart directly.
What does the AI actually do to an incoming fax?
It reads the document, produces a short summary, tags what type of document it is, and routes it to the right inbox. A person still decides where it is filed.
Is it HIPAA compliant?
Yes. Documents are encrypted in transit and at rest, access is logged, and we sign a Business Associate Agreement during onboarding. Details are on our HIPAA compliance page.
