Working with Patient Images

WinOMS enables you to scan and attach images to a patient's record. You can also attach images created by other programs. You can use your scanner as a copier, even for x-rays.

You can store scanned images in the following formats: . TIF, . BMP, .JPG, or . PCX. You can save both images and documents in the portable document format (PDF).

If you have images captured with Trophy software, version 5 or lower, you must convert the images to WinOMS images. See Using the TROPHY Software to OMS Imaging Software Converter for more information.

Managing Images

From the Patient window, select EMR > Images. Use the filter to select Clinical, Non-Clinical, or both.

Select an image in the list to view it in the Preview panel. Double-click to open the image in the Document/Image window.

Workspace Images Tab

You can also access images from the Workspace area of the Patient window. Select the Attachments tab, then Images. Use the filter to select Clinical, Non-Clinical, or both.

Images are displayed as thumbnails. If you want the list of images to display as a text list, or to return to displaying thumbnails, use the toggle button in the lower right corner of the tab:
