What is the Xerox Share Patient Information App?
The Share Patient Information app is a smart scanning app available through the Xerox App Gallery on all ConnectKey-enabled Xerox devices with scanning capabilities.
The Share Patient Information app turns your Xerox AltaLink or VersaLink multifunction printer into a HIPAA-compliant Healthcare MFP. With the help of Kno2, it allows providers to:
- Share patient records electronically with other providers
- Store documents directly to a patient’s chart (depending on your EHR)
- Send non-PHI documents via fax
- Search and select recipients from a national provider directory
It also supports single sign-on (SSO), making the process quicker and more secure for healthcare professionals. We’ll delve into this further below.

How Does the App Help Healthcare Teams Work Smarter?
The app helps reduce the back-and-forth often involved in sharing patient information. Instead of scanning to a computer, uploading manually, and tracking down contact info, the app handles it all in one place.
For example, a clinic can scan documents and send them to another provider or EHR system without leaving the printer. Staff simply log in, search for the patient, scan the file, and send it, saving valuable time and reducing room for error.
With secure access to national directories and EHRs (via Kno2), this app improves communication, speeds up care coordination, and helps ensure records are safely and accurately filed.
How Much Does the Share Patient Information App Cost?
The app is available in the Xerox App Gallery, but it requires a Kno2 account and device license to use. Pricing and setup may vary depending on your healthcare organization’s needs.
Good news: You can download the app and get started with configuration at no charge, and Xerox offers clear guidance to help you through account setup and installation.

How Do I Use the App?
Using the Xerox Share Patient Information app is simple:
- Download the App: Install it from the Xerox App Gallery on your ConnectKey-enabled MFP.
- Log In Once: Use your Kno2 credentials or take advantage of SSO through Xerox Workplace Solutions.
- Choose a Workflow:
- Share Patient Info: Send documents to another provider.
- Scan to EHR: Upload directly to the patient’s chart.
- Fax (non-PHI): Fax documents that don’t include patient data.
- Search and Scan: Use the national provider directory to find recipients, enter or confirm patient details, scan your documents, and send.
Each step is designed to reduce clicks, confusion, and delays.
The Xerox Workplace Solutions Benefit
Want to skip the hassle of entering passwords every time? Pair the app with Xerox Workplace Suite or Xerox Workplace Cloud for single sign-on (SSO) support.
With SSO, staff only need to sign in once at the printer. They can use a card, PIN, or NFC-enabled mobile device to access the app and send documents securely. This reduces login friction and helps maintain HIPAA compliance.
