Chapter 3 Creating, Modifying, & Deleting Patient Records
Recording Patient Information
e. Click Browse to navigate to and select an electronic document to link to
the patient’s privacy, consent, and authorization forms or click Scan to
scan documents directly into OfficeMate and save them as an eDocument
in the patient’s record.
Notes
• Because all documents scanned directly into OfficeMate must
be saved as a PDF file, you must have Adobe Reader installed
on your computer. Go to www.adobe.com to install Adobe
Reader for free.
• Eyefinity/OfficeMate does not recommend a specific scanner
brand or model; you can use any scanner that can create an
electronic document with the OfficeMate eDocuments feature.
For more information on scanners, go to
www.officemate.net/omkb/article.aspx?id=10958, or consult
your hardware technician.
• Eyefinity/OfficeMate does not support your hardware and
highly suggests consulting your hardware technician before
purchasing a scanner to use with your computer. For
installation, support, and troubleshooting issues related to your
scanner, contact the scanner’s manufacturer.
If you clicked Scan in step 4 step e, follow the instructions below; otherwise, skip
to step 6:
a. Select the following Scan Options on the Scan Document(s) window:
B/W if you want to scan the document in black and white.
Greyscale if you want to scan the document in greyscale.
Color if you want to scan the document in color.
Duplex if you want to scan two sides of a document (and if it is supported
by the scanner).
Hide UI if you want to hide the scanner’s user interface. If you deselect
this check box then the scanner’s interface will open with additional
scanning options. For information about these additional options, view the
scanner’s documentation.
b. Click the … (ellipsis) button in the Scan Options box to open the Select
Source window and select a scanner.
Note
If you select a scanner different from the one that is already
displayed on the blue title bar in the Scan Document(s) window,
the window will close and you will have to reopen it by clicking
Scan on the HIPAA Form Information window.
