Fax handling had become a major source of operational drag at Northfield Hospital + Clinics. Manual printing, scanning, and document routing slowed follow-up on referrals, prescriptions, and lab requests. By introducing AI-powered fax automation, Northfield reduced fax handling time by 90% and reclaimed hundreds of staff hours every month. Incoming e-faxes are automatically parsed and routed to the right teams, removing manual handoffs from the process.
“Our medical records clerk came to me wondering if she was doing something wrong because it felt so easy,” said Debbie Oathoudt, IT Project Manager at Northfield. “The time savings added up quickly, and we’re now able to absorb faxes from other clinics.”
- 90% less fax handling time for staff
- 250+ staff hours saved every month
- 3,000+ faxes processed every month

When patients find your organization online, let them schedule right from your Google My Business profile. Available appointments are automatically synced with Google, so patients always know what’s available — without needing to call in.
At Mile Bluff Medical Center, located in south central Wisconsin, staff and clinicians always go the extra mile to give patients a stellar experience. But manual schedule management was a real challenge, contributing to high no-shows, unfilled appointment slots, and delays in care. Staff spent hours on the phone each day confirming appointments, while also trying to fill new openings. Same-day cancellations were nearly impossible to fill.
With Luma, Mile Bluff takes hours of calling off of staff’s plates, and patients are being seen sooner. The improved schedule utilization and reduced no-shows mean additional revenue. Best of all, it’s all integrated with MEDITECH Expanse in real time.
