FAQ:
When I scan insurance cards at 200dpi and then upload it as a jpeg it’s illegible. How can I fix this?
You should scan in at 72 dpi (which is standard web resolution) and crop the image to the standard card size of 300 pixels by 180 pixels so it won't have to resize in the browser.
Who teaches us how to scan the pictures of the insurance cards into the computers?
Resellers, such as Altient, should teach you how to scan everything in.
Is there a way to easily/directly download patient demographics from SynaMed and into his outlook contact page?
We plan on having outlook synching in a few months. Until then, I would recommend running a report, saving to excel, and converting from there.
Is there a way to access the patient demographics page without leaving the calendar?
Yes, there is a link to patient demographics in each appointment on the calendar.
How to use:
1- Find an appointment with the patient you are looking to see info of;
2- Click on "Patient Demographics" in that appointment box, or
3- Using dragon just say the patient's name, followed by "Demographics (example, say: "John Public Demographics")
The link for this pop up may move to another part of the calendar.
Is it possible to add referring doc to physician’s profile?
You cannot add it to the doctor’s profile but you can add it to the patient’s demographic info.
How do you delete patients from SynaMed?
There is no delete function.
