Using the Patient Chart

Using the Snapshot Module

The snapshot module enables you to add a patient or responsible party photo to the patient chart. The patient photo is displayed on the Patient Information window and the Contact Experts results window. If you have selected the Patient and Responsible Party options on the OrthoTrac Configuration window (Options > Environment > Miscellaneous), the photo is also displayed on the OrthoTrac Patient Lookup window.

• To compress the size of snapshot files loaded prior to version 9.0, contact your software support provider.
