MedSuite supports both Workflow Indexing and Manual Indexing.  Workflow Indexing may index images to Patients, Visits, Payments, and Claims.  In addition to Patients, Visits, and Payments, Manual Indexing allows images to be indexde to the following list of "entities":

 

• Account

• Visit

• Visit Batch

• Payment

• Payment Batch

• Claim

• Company

• Practice

• Division

• Carrier

• Staff

• Referral

• Facility

• Plan

• Fee Schedule

• Rate Structure

 

An Imaging Tab has been added to the Patient, Visit, Payments, Ledger, as well as the Setup functions of the above entities so that images indexed to the entity may be viewed by the user.

 

This tab contains a common frame that is used throughout MedSuite.

 

 

Image Tree

A "tree" structure containing a list of the images tied to the displayed entity (Patient, Visit, Plan, etc.) is displayed on the left side of the window.

 

The "tree" contains five "branches" although all five are never displayed at the same time.  The "leaves" on each branch represent images indexed to the branch.  The branches are:

 

• Patient - Images indexed to the patient (Action = Patient)

• Visits - Images indexed to visits (Action = Visit-New)

• Payments - Images indexed to visits (Action = Payment Insurance -

  New or Payment Self - New)

• Claims - Images indexed to claims (Action = Claim Followup)

• Miscellaneous - Images indexed via Manual Indexing to some other

  entity from the list above

 

Refresh

Refreshes the Image Tree

View

Views the selected image from the Image Tree

 

 

The "image" portion of the window covers the right-most 3/4 of the window.  It contains a copy of the selected image as well as button that permit manipulation of the image.

 

Desc

The description assigned to the image by MedSuite is displayed.

Toolbar

MedSuite's Imaging Workflow screen contains a toolbar that contains buttons that perform image manipulation.

 

Zoom-In

Zooms-In (enlarges) the image

Zoom-Out

Zooms-Out (reduces) the image

Rotate Left

Rotates the image 90-degrees to the left

Rotate Right

Rotates the image 90-degrees to the right

Show / Hide Annotations

Enlarges the image by hiding the annotations on the right side of the screen

Actual Size

The image is displayed at its actual size.  This is the default setting upon entering the imaging screens.

Fit Page

The image is re-sized so that the entire image is displayed on the screen.  If you change to the Fit Page setting and don't go back to Actual Size, subsequently viewed images will display with this setting until you change it back to Actual Size.

Fit Width

The image is re-sized so that the width of the image fills the image area.  If you change to the Fit Width setting and don't go back to Actual Size, subsequently viewed images will display with this setting until you change it back to Actual Size.

 

 

 

Buttons

 

Several buttons are displayed across the bottom of the screen and are used as follows:

 

Print

Prints the displayed image

Un-Index

Displays the Move Images to Imaging Station screen.  You should enter/select the Imaging Station that you want the document moved to.  When you press Ok on the Move Images screen, the selected image is removed from the Image Tree and any indexes on the image are removed from the image.

 

In effect, the image is placed in an Imaging Station in a "ready to be processed" state.

 

Un-Index can be used any time that an image is index to the wrong entity.  Although it may be used on Patients, Visits, Payments, or Claims, this is not typical.  The Workflow will generally create these entities so it is unlikely that they will be incorrectly indexed.
