Documents and uploads

How document upload works in Cerawave, where files live, and how malware scanning protects the clinic.

Attached to the record

Documents belong to a patient, and result documents can belong to the investigation they answer.

That is deliberate: a file that lives beside the record instead of inside it is a file nobody finds a year later.

Scanned on the way in

Uploads can be scanned for malware before being accepted, so a clinic that receives files from labs and patients is not treating every attachment as trustworthy.

Document storage with malware scanning is listed as a Practice Pro capability on the pricing page.

Common questions

What can I attach?
Files that belong to the patient’s care, including reports and images returned against an investigation.
Can another clinic see my uploads?
No. Documents belong to the clinic that holds the patient record.
