FAQ:
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 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.
How can I check the last appointment time for a specific patient?
First go to Patient à Patient Search, find the patient and go to patient menu. Once in the patient menu, on the column for Medical Functions, select Profile summary. In the profile summary page, you will notice a gray navigator bar as such:
Click on Appointments, and you will see a table with information on all the appointments that this patient has ever made.
