Record Ingestion — Bring Outside Docs Into Order

Upload or forward records; Stream ingests, extracts problems, and prepares summaries or updates.

Every clinician knows the feeling — a new patient arrives with years of records from outside systems: scanned PDFs, faxed letters, printouts from old EHRs. You spend half the visit scrolling, searching, and summarizing before you can even begin to plan care.

Stream’s upcoming Record Ingestion feature is designed to fix that.

Simply upload a PDF or paste text from any outside record, and Stream automatically extracts the relevant information — problems, medications, key findings — and files each item into the right problem buckets for you.

Discharge summaries, referral letters, and old consult notes become structured, problem-linked documentation that you can actually use. The next time you see the patient, you’re not digging through attachments — you’re continuing the story from where someone else left off.

This feature will also form the foundation of Stream’s Chart Builder, allowing you to reconstruct a patient’s longitudinal record even when they come from multiple external systems.

And soon, you’ll even be able to fax directly into Stream — sending outside documents straight into the problem-based charting system for instant processing. (We’re gauging early interest in this — stay tuned.)

With Record Ingestion, Stream turns information overload into structured, usable context — bringing clarity back to every handoff, every referral, and every new patient you meet.
