Scanned and uploaded documents are available on the Quick View page, the Attachments page, the Scheduling patient and order pages, the Viewer and the patient folder. The existence of attached documents can be displayed on the worklist using the # Attachments worklist column.
The availability of attached documents is by document type. Documents are assigned a type from the scanning UI or when acquired from a third party device. Access to specific document types can be limited by location for users and groups.
On the Attachments page, each attached document is represented by a thumbnail image on the left. Click the thumbnail to display the attached document in the view area on the right. Depending on your browser’s settings, the view area embeds the application appropriate for the attachment’s file type, or launches it in a separate window.
Note: The setting to embed PDF documents into the browser window is in Adobe Reader. From the Edit menu, select Preferences. In the Categories list, select Internet. Check the Display PDF in browser box.
If the attachment is an image (e.g., a JPEG file or DICOM object), position the mouse over the thumbnail to display the attachment at a resolution. For non-image file types (e.g., a PDF file), the attachment’s file name appears.
Note: When the view area is occupied by a non-image object, such as the Adobe Reader, the browser loses control of the area. A consequence of this is the mouse-over popup windows appear behind the object in the viewer area. The recommended solution is to configure Adobe Reader to open in a separate window rather than embed into the browser.
The main image area supports three display modes.
Display Mode |
Description |
Full image mode |
Display the image at full resolution, adding vertical and horizontal scroll bars to reposition the viewable area |
Page-width mode |
Fit the page width to the image area, adding a vertical scroll bar if necessary. |
Full page mode |
Fit the entire image to the image area. |
To change the display mode, position the cursor over the image in the main image area and click the left mouse button. The modes advance from page-width to full image to full page to page-width.
