Getting a fax out of the fax queue and into the correct patient chart automatically.

What good looks like
Documents land in the chart at the right location with the right type, and anything the system cannot match with confidence goes to an explicit queue rather than a guess.
Patient matching against chart data, not filename
Correct document type on filing

Audit trail from receipt to chart
What to measure
Agree these before changing anything, so the effect is visible rather than argued about.
Median minutes from receipt to chart
Share auto-filed vs queued
Misfiles found on audit
