Using hylafax in OEMR 3.01

Hi,  everybody, 

I set up hylafax to fax out prescriptions, currently it needs the help of winprint hylafax to send it out, and there is no place i can store each patients pharmacy fax number.  I tried to fax within openemr, it gets the error:

Fatal error: Cannot break/continue 1 level in /var/www/openemr/controllers/C_Prescription.class.php on line 539

I know there are parameters to have openemr working with hylafax not set up yet, could somebody shed lights guiding me on this?  I am also curious to know if hylafax has been used a lot with openemr, if yes, do you use another frontend software or you are able to fax documents directly from openemr? 

thank  you all, hui

We do not fax documents directly out of OpenEMR.  Rather, we have Hylafax+ setup and use Avantfax as a front end.  At some point I would like to look into integrating faxing with OpenEMR but for now this setup works fine for us.

Hi, Mike, thank you for the post.  I will start looking at Avantfax.  Could you post what version the Avantfax you are using, and does it maintain a separate directory on the server, and does it automatically generate a cover sheet for each fax?   Thank you–Hui

I am using Avantfax 3.1.0.  They are up to 3.1.6 but I have  not had the need to upgrade.  Yes, Avantfax has its own web directory and generates a cover page. It’s a great fax solution!!
