FAQ:
Can I get lab results faxed directly to the patient’s office note from hospital labs?
Lab results can’t be faxed directly to the patient’s office note so the alternative is to add the lab results to the patient’s office note manually. The steps for this process are as follows: when the hospital faxes a document to you it will enter the system, and you will get an alert that you got a fax. When this happens go to document repository and open the fax. Then save it onto your computer and re-upload it by going to clinical images in the patient main menu. When you open an office note for the patient, go to labs and procedures and attach the image.
When I click on “Add Procedure Result”, all I see is an empty box. How do I add a procedure to my note?
You must first do a procedure. Go to the patient navigation and under “Procedures”, click on “New Procedure”. Select the procedure you’d like to complete for this patient, then click on “Select”. Fill out the procedure form then click on “Save” once you are done. Go back to the note that you were working on, then go back to “Labs & Procedures”. Click on “Add Procedure Result”, and you’ll now see the procedure that you just created in the box. Click on it so that procedure is highlighted, then click on “Add Procedure Result”.
How can I upload an image of a patient’s test result (eg: EKG, X-Ray) onto SynaMed and associate it with the patient?
First, using a scanner, scan the test result into the local computer and save it as a JPG, GIF, TIF, or PNG-formatted image. Then, using any of the paths listed below, go to the image upload page.
Patient Search à Patient Search Results à Patient Menu à Images
Patient Search à Patient Search Results à Patient Menu à Conducting a New Office Visit à Lab & Procedures à Images
Patient Search à Patient Search Results à Patient Menu à Review Proceduresà Procedure à Images
Type in the description of the image. Click on the Browse button and find the file on the local computer. When ready to upload, click Upload. The user can delete the image if he/she made an error as long as the image has not yet been saved as part of a completed note.
Do you save scanned documents as a gif or pdf file?
It depends on where you’re uploading them from. Document repository supports just about every type of file. Images in the patient note just supports image formats like gif, tif, jpeg, etc.
What is my image upload quota?
There is no image upload quota.
Is there a view control in the view lab result image to control the resolution / size of the image?
There will be a zoom in/out function soon.
Is it possible to scan x-rays on x-ray film? (Do you need a special scanner?)
As long as the x-rays can physically fit in the scanner, a regular scanner should work. If they cannot fit, maybe a bigger scanner (with more scan area than just letter size) is needed.
