Scan Documents without Direct Scanning
There is a 2MB file size limit for uploads, and this cannot be increased, and TIF files are not supported.
If you are not using the Direct Scanning feature, you can still upload scanned documents.
While most documents belong in the Patient Charting System, Patient IDs and Insurance Cards can be scanned into the PM System.
- It is recommended to designate a specific folder for your scanned documents.
- Use a naming convention with the Patient's initials and ID Type.
- The items that have been scanned and uploaded should be routinely deleted from the folder.
- Your IT department might be able to automate a daily purge of the scanned data.
