Scans Preferences

The Scans tab of the preferences area allows you to configure the location of the Unassigned Files directory in the Scan Management dialog. Use the following steps to configure the unassigned scan directory.

 

 

  1. Click Edit > Preferences.
     

  2. Click the Scans tab.
     

  3. In the Unassociated Scans Dir field, click the button, and browse to the location of the scans folder.
     

  4. Check the Scan Manager Disable option if you want to disable access to the Scan Management dialog.

    NOTE: When this option is activated you cannot access the Scan Management dialog, however, you can still scan documents into a chart note via the Note tab, and clicking Scan Document which enables the legacy method of scanning via the Scan Pages dialog.
     

  5. Check the Create Notes for Scans option if you want the scanned image to be embedded into a chart note allowing you to add and modify information within that note (as opposed to being able to only modify Chart Header information). In the Organizer the scanned images embedded into a chart note will have a format of "Note (Scan)" to easily distinguish these from other formats.

    NOTE:If this option is activated the Undo button in the Scan Management dialog will be disabled.
     

  6. Check the Scan Stack Default option if you want to default the Stack scans into one Note option in the Scan Management dialog to be checked, thereby allowing you to stack (select multiple) scanned images into one chart note.
     

  7. Modify the Warning Limit for Scans value as needed. This option allows you to determine the maximum threshold for scan size (MB) before a warning is generated when inserting a scan into a patient's chart indicating that a particular scan exceeds this value. The value in this field must be between 1 and 10 MB.
     

  8. Check the Allow Auto Import of Scans option if you want to be able to batch import PDF files via the Scans tab in the Scan Management dialog.

  9.  
  10. Once the applicable preferences have been configured, click the Set button.
     

  11. When finished, click the OK button.
