When we rolled out AI Referrals, it significantly streamlined the referral process and reduced administrative burdens. Now, we’re taking it a step further.
Previously, AI Referrals were only available via fax, which worked well in many situations. But we know flexibility is key. So, with this latest update, the feature has been upgraded so that you can generate Letterheads directly from AI Referrals. This gives you full control over how you deliver referrals to patients, specialists, or anyone else for that matter.
When generating referrals, simply smash the Create Letterhead button. Atlas.md will instantly create a beautiful letterhead of the referral that you can print, email, or deliver to the recipient in whatever way makes sense.
So whether you need a fax, a printed document, or a digital file for email, you now have the flexibility to deliver patient referrals your way—all directly in your EMR.

Imagine you’re in the middle of seeing patients when you receive an important voice memo from a colleague about a patient’s lab results. It’s an urgent update, but you’re not in front of your computer, and the last thing you want to do is waste time trying to email it, save it, or manually upload it into the patient chart.
This is where Share Extension comes in.
With this update, you send that voice memo directly from your phone straight to the patient’s chart in just a few taps. That’s it—no more jumping between apps or email threads.
But here’s the real magic: once the audio file is uploaded, Atlas.md automatically generates a transcript of the memo that’s ready for AI processing, including easy integration into SOAP notes. This happens seamlessly so that you can stay in your flow, focused on patient care instead of dealing with technical details.
It’s not just voice memos, either. Whether it’s a quick photo of a rash, a PDF of a referral form, or a signed consent document, you can upload it to the patient’s chart with no extra steps.
This feature isn’t just about saving time—it’s about ensuring that important patient information gets where it needs to go faster. The quicker you can upload, store, and reference that information, the better you can make decisions and deliver the best care.
Note that Share Extension is currently only available for iOS, but don’t worry—we’ve got an Android version in the works.

Let’s be honest—digging through massive PDF files in a patient chart is not exactly the highlight of anyone’s day. Maybe it’s a stack of records from another clinic or another lengthy lab report. Whatever the case, getting to the critical information fast can make all the difference.
That’s why we’re rolling out AI PDF Summaries—your new best friend for making sense of long documents in record time.
Every PDF in a patient chart now comes with a new Summarize button. Click it, and you’ll get a concise, context-aware document summary in seconds. No more endless scrolling or hunting for key details—the AI does the heavy lifting for you.
Think of it as having an extra set of (very sharp) eyes on every document. Whether you’re reviewing a detailed discharge summary, preparing for a consultation, or just making sure you didn’t miss anything important, AI PDF Summaries ensure you have the right information at the right time.
On top of that, you can share this information with the rest of your team, patients, or other providers, passing on the massive time savings to everyone.

Letterheads are a simple but powerful tool for creating professional documents directly from your patients’ charts. Now, we’re making them even more convenient—you can email Letterheads directly from Atlas.md in one seamless flow.
No more downloading PDFs and manually sending them through email. With this update, you can send Letterheads instantly to patients, contacts from your Atlas.md list, or any third party—without ever leaving the platform.
This further streamlines the documentation process, reducing administrative steps and making patient communication more efficient. Whether it’s a sick leave note, a referral, or an appointment confirmation, you can now handle everything within Atlas.md—no extra steps required.
Check out our support article for more details, and as always, if you have any questions, don’t hesitate to drop us a line at support@atlas.md.
Let’s face it—managing the endless stream of PDFs in your Files Inbox is a hassle. Lab results, referrals, prescriptions, and other documents can pile up quickly, demanding your time and attention. Sorting through them, figuring out who they belong to, and ensuring they’re properly documented in patient charts can feel like a full-time job.
That’s where our new AI Inbox Sorting feature comes in.
Once a PDF ends up in your Files Inbox either through fax, email, Google Drive, or Dropbox (or maybe from the great beyond, who knows), AI Inbox Sorting will analyze the file’s contents and match it with your patient database to suggest a likely destination. It also provides a concise document summary to help you archive it more effectively.
No more opening files one by one to decipher their contents or scrolling through your patient list to find a match. This feature eliminates the repetitive, time-consuming tasks that eat into your day and lets you focus on what truly matters: your patients.

The LA wildfires have left many facing loss, displacement, and uncertainty. In times of disaster, access to healthcare becomes more critical than ever. With traditional medical facilities often forced to close, residents have limited options for care. Direct Primary Care (DPC) offers a flexible, patient-centered approach that can help fill this gap, ensuring individuals and families receive the support they need in these crucial moments.
How? Well, since many DPC providers already offer telemedicine, patients can receive care remotely even when they can’t visit a clinic.
For displaced families, this means a doctor is just a call or video chat away. Prescriptions can be sent to the nearest pharmacy, and it becomes possible to receive ongoing medical support—without the red tape of insurance. On top of that, this eases pressure on emergency rooms and ensures people continue receiving care when it matters most.
A Call to Action: Mobilizing the DPC Community
This isn’t about capitalizing on a crisis. It’s about responding with meaningful solutions. The LA wildfires highlight the need for an agile and community-driven healthcare system. DPC is more than an affordable and convenient option—it’s a model that can withstand disasters and continue serving patients when they need it most.
As part of this effort, Atlas.md is offering free EMR access to doctors in affected areas. The right tools will help providers maintain patient records, offer telemedicine, and ensure uninterrupted care, even under the challenging conditions they find themselves in.
We’re calling on LA-based doctors and DPC providers nationwide to get involved. Whether it’s volunteering, offering free telemedicine consultations, or sharing resources, every contribution makes a difference. Together, we can prove that DPC isn’t just a healthcare model—it’s a lifeline for communities in crisis.
If you’re a doctor in LA or someone looking to contribute, reach out. Contact us at support@atlas.md and we’ll do our best to help.
Let’s make this vision a reality and show how the DPC model can help the community in difficult times.
One of the greatest joys of DPC is helping patients remotely, no matter where they are. But a doctor is only as effective as their tools, which is why we’re enhancing our telemedicine capabilities with new Enhanced Video Call Controls. This video call toolbar streamlines telemedicine and gives you more control of your video calls, letting you focus on delivering better care—no matter where you or your patients are.
The video call toolbar lets you adjust three key features during your calls:
Turn your webcam on or off without disrupting your call flow.
Mute or unmute your microphone for clear communication.
Switch to full-screen mode to remove distractions and focus on the patient.
Your patients get the same set of controls, allowing them to adjust their video, audio, or full-screen settings as needed. Now, both you and your patients get a consistent and user-friendly experience.
These intuitive controls significantly improve the telemedicine experience, allowing you to spend less time fiddling with settings and more time focusing on patient care. For more information about how these controls work, check out our support article. And if you have any questions about these new controls, please don’t hesitate to contact support@atlas.md.
Direct Primary Care has revolutionized healthcare access in urban centers, providing a more efficient and patient-focused alternative to traditional fee-for-service models. Now, as DPC practices expand, they’re bringing that success to rural communities, offering underserved areas the same level of care that urban patients have long enjoyed.
But how does DPC impact rural healthcare, and is it the best solution to the challenges faced in these regions?
The Healthcare Challenges of Rural America
The traditional healthcare model has long struggled to meet the needs of rural communities. With fewer physicians and long distances between patients and care providers, access to healthcare in these areas is often limited. In fact, due to a critical shortage of primary care physicians, one in five rural areas is considered a primary care desert. This shortage has led to delayed care, preventable conditions, and higher costs.
One solution to these challenges is the DPC model, which has already shown benefits in urban environments. This patient-centric approach is now being adapted for rural settings, where healthcare access has traditionally been restricted.
However, implementing DPC in rural areas doesn’t come without challenges. These regions face unique obstacles, such as fewer doctors, limited infrastructure, and geographic isolation.
But DPC is perfectly poised to meet these challenges head-on. One permanent DPC clinic could be enough to serve a community facing physician shortages and limited healthcare facilities. Telehealth, a core functionality built into the DPC model from the start, can also offer enormous benefits to rural communities located hours from the nearest clinic.
Attracting Physicians to Rural Areas
One major benefit of DPC in rural areas is that it attracts physicians who may otherwise be hesitant to practice there. The typical fee-for-service model can be less appealing due to unpredictable income and high administrative burdens. In contrast, DPC offers a steady income and reduced paperwork, making it an attractive option for both experienced doctors and new graduates seeking a better work-life balance.
Studies show that physicians in rural areas value improved working conditions, professional development opportunities, and access to resources. Additionally, doctors who feel integrated into the community and enjoy a good quality of life are likelier to remain in rural areas.
DPC naturally supports both factors by fostering stronger bonds between doctors and patients and reducing stress, allowing physicians to work more effectively.
Reducing Healthcare Costs for Rural Communities
DPC also helps mitigate the higher healthcare costs often associated with rural areas.
Patients in remote locations are often forced to travel long distances for specialty care, leading to higher healthcare expenditures. However, with robust telemedicine services, DPC practices make specialty consultations no further away than a few clicks. By taking advantage of these technologies, rural physicians gain faster, easier, and more cost-effective access to specialists than many of their urban counterparts.
DPC’s emphasis on preventive care also leads to fewer hospital admissions, further lowering costs and improving overall health outcomes.
Rural communities can also benefit from DPC’s adaptability. In a traditional healthcare system, rural areas often receive limited or delayed resources, but DPC’s flexibility enables it to respond more quickly to a community’s specific needs.
This can range from tailoring health programs to the region’s predominant health concerns to ensuring that healthcare is available during off-hours or weekends.
A Bright Future for Rural Healthcare
The success of DPC in urban settings is no longer just a tale of metropolitan prosperity; it is now making its way to the rural heartland. By reducing barriers, attracting providers, and offering an efficient, preventative approach to care, DPC can be a game-changer for those living away from cities.
As this model continues to grow, it’s clear that DPC holds the potential to reshape rural healthcare in a way that’s sustainable, efficient, and patient-focused, all while fostering healthier communities.If you’d like to see the power of DPC in action, check out this interview and case study of Beth Renzulli, MD, in Middletown, Delaware.
