This Training Video is pending the addition of narration, but still provides a good walk through of documenting a limited patient encounter making full use of templates and automated document generation.

This documents a patient with acute tonsillitis.  An examination is documented, bloods are ordered, a diagnosis made, an antibiotic is prescribed, and a superbill is printed. Finally a chart record is also printed for those who wish to keep a paper record.

Upon installation of Synapse EMR Server additional resources can be found within the Synaspe EMR Express Server Readme. This details some of the configuration options being discussed within this training video.

When you start your Synapse EMR Server for the first time you must configure an Admin User. This is the first user added to the system as an Administrator. You will use this user to configure your other Doctors, Nurse and Receptionist logins.

Set Up Admin User
Enter a username - normally First and Last Name
Enter a password - the password is displayed as clear text only this time
Enter a Full Name - how you normally like to be addressed (such as Dr. James Kildare, or James Kildare, MD)

Download FDA drug database
Synapse EMR Server will prompt you to download the Federal Drug Administration (FDA) Drug Database. Click Yes, No or Cancel. The download takes approximately 4 minutes depending upon the speed of your internet connection.

When you first run the Synapse EMR Client an upgrade check and optional setup steps are performed. The following events are executed:

• Synapse EMR will perform a version check with SynapseDirect and offer to download and install the latest available version. You can perform the Upgrade manually, automatically or Ignore the upgrade until the next time you start Synapse EMR.
• If you choose to perform an upgrade, the latest Synapse EMR Client version will be automatically downloaded and installed to your computer.
• A "DOS" box will remain in the background once the upgrade has been executed. The next time you start Synapse EMR this "DOS" box will not appear.
  
• If you already have the latest version of Synapse EMR client no action will be taken once the version check has been performed.
• Synapse EMR will ask if you want to download our Sample Text Macros. Click the Yes or No button. We recommend that you download the samples, and optionally delete any macros that you will not use, or customize to your own requirements. This download will only take a few seconds.
• Synapse EMR will ask if you want to download IC9 codes. Click the Yes or No button. This download takes 2 or 3 minutes depending upon the speed of your internet connection.

Once you've completed the above tasks, Synapse EMR Client will launch automatically connecting to our demonstration Synapse EMR Server. You will see our default web-site address followed by a port number (www.synapsedirect.com:8010).

The default "demonstration" login Userid is "Guest" and Password "Guest" without the quote marks.

You can change the GUI size from 3 (800x600), 4 (1024x768) and 5 (1240x1024)

Click the OK button to connect to our Demonstration Synapse EMR Server. Click the Quit button to close Synapse EMR.
