Exporting your practice's records

Take a copy of your practice's records out of Weft as a FHIR R4 file, choosing which kinds of record go in it.

Who this is for: Practice administrator, Practice manager

Ask for an export

  1. Select Settings, then Export records.
    The Export records screen with the kinds of record to include and the Ask for an export button.
  2. Under What to include, tick each kind of record to take.
  3. Choose whether to Include the document files themselves. Turned off, every document is still listed.
  4. Select Ask for an export. It appears under What you have asked for.

Download it

  1. Open the export. When it is ready, select Download the file.
  2. Read what it carries and what it left out, and why, before you rely on it. A digest beside the size lets you check the copy you keep.

Tip: Documents are the bulk of what a practice holds. Leave the document files out when you do not need them and the export is far smaller.

Note: An export goes back to whoever asked for it and nobody else.
