This scenario assumes that PaperPort is installed. If you don't have PaperPort, you must have some other type of scanning software installed. A scanner is naturally required.
If your scanner scans directly to a specific folder, see the next post for a short cut method.1. Select the patient ( use the "Search" button at the top of the screen ). And then move to the Patients/Results tab.
2. Click on the "PPort" button. This will bring up PaperPort to the directory where your PaperPort files for this patient are stored. This is configured in the Settings/PaperPort tab. The patient directory is created if it does not exist.
3. Scan your document, noting the name of the file created.
4. Click on "Add New" to bring up the "Add Result Window" window
5. At top left, select the clinician for whom the result is destined.
6. Select a test date. Using the "?" button brings up a calendar.
7. Select a Result type, or type in a type in the drop down field
8. Type in a short synopsis of the result.
9. Click on the second "?" button next to where it say "To be viewed in a web browser"
10. When the file requester comes up, do a Control-V paste into the requester where it is asking for a file name, and the patient's paperport directory will be pasted there. Hit enter, and the file requester will now show the patient's paperport directory.
11. Select the file you want and then click on "Save" in the file requester.
12. Click on "Save" in the "Add Result Window", and the progress meter next to the save button fills as the file is transferred to Synapse-EMR server.
13. You can now close the "Add Result Window" unless adding more results.
14. Note that you can not add the same scan twice - the server will tell you that the file already exists.
15. To now add results for a different patient, click on the top "Clear" button, and enter the different patient details. As you remain on the "Results" tab, you can quickly start adding results for the different patient.
