Connect Updox to Amazing Charts
Updox shares patients, appointment calendars, and users with Amazing Charts through Updox Central, which is installed on your Amazing Charts server.
If Amazing Charts hosts your server: our Onboarding team works with Amazing Charts to set it up.
If you host your own server: your sales rep schedules an installation session with our team.
