How can I import my data

Call your current EHR vendor to request for your complete data.
You may upload the demographics data using the data import widget. Download the sample file and match your data to the columns. Save and upload the file on the data import section. Note: Please make sure the format exactly matches the sample file. If any records are deemed “invalid” this may be due to a formatting error e.g. hyphens in phone numbers, spaces before the city etc.
You may use talkEHR with the demographics information (if provided) while you wait on the complete data from your previous vendor. Once you receive the data, upload the file on the data import section where it says “Import complete data”.
Leave the rest to us! We will merge and import the data in a structured format within 10-12 business days, and reach out to you.
