Manually Import a Single Word Document

Use the following steps to import a single Word document or to import a Word that could not be matched.

 

 

  1. Click Chart > Scan Documents.
     

  2. In the Scan Management dialog, click the Docs tab.

    NOTE: If documents were placed in the directory for Unassigned Scans, click the drop-down in the Docs area, where it currently is set to Local Files, and select Unassigned Files.
     

  3. Highlight the applicable Document in the Docs list.
     

  4. In the Patient search field, enter the first few letters of the patient's last name. You can also enter a comma and then enter the first few letters of the patient's first name. The system will then return the results of that search. Highlight the Patient to whom the document belongs.

    NOTE: The search criteria can be further refined by adding or subtracting letters of the patient's name, or  by modifying the Search Column and Search Type fields at the bottom of the Patient List.
     

  5. Select any Send to (to send a reminder to a users To-Do List), Heading, Practice, Provider, Date (the note or visit date if not included in the filename), Folder, Case, Order Status (to link the document to an outstanding order and modify the status of the outstanding order), Scan as Advance Directive, Scan as Educational Materials, or Scan as Patient-Generated Health Data options as needed.



     

  6. Once the applicable options have been selected, click the Save button.

    NOTE: If any of the Word documents exceeds the maximum scan size threshold, a warning message will be  produced indicating this file is larger than the defined size. Click the OK button to continue, or click the Cancel button to abort. The scan size threshold can be modified via the Scans Preferences.
