Using the Patient Chart > Using Patient Tracking > Additional Function Buttons
Using an attached scanner, you can scan a document — an insurance card, for example — into a patient chart.
To scan documents into a patient’s imaging chart:
Click Scan. The Select Type window is displayed.
Select the document type from the drop-down list.
Document types are not provided with the software. To create your own document types, follow these steps.
Click Scan. When scanning is completed, the Patient Tracking window is displayed. The software automatically makes an entry into patient tracking, giving the current date and the type of image scanned.
An image icon is displayed in the V (View) column to indicate the patient tracking entry has an image attached.
Click the image icon to display a read-only view of the image. You can zoom, rotate, or print the image.
You can remove a document after scanning it. For more information, see Using the Remove Button.
If you have previously saved a document—a scanned insurance card, for example—and you want to include it in the patient’s imaging chart, use the Browse button to navigate to the location where the previously saved document resides.
You can attach previously saved documents having any of the following file types: .bmp, .cmp, .jpg, .jpeg, .png., and .pcx.
To use the Browse button:
In the patient tracking window, click Scan. The Select Type window is displayed.
Select the document type from the drop-down list.
Document types are not provided with the software. To create your own document types, follow these steps.
Click Browse.
Navigate to the location of the saved document, select the document, and click Open. The document is added to the patient’s image chart, and the Patient Tracking window is displayed, listing a new entry for the document you just added.
