Image Workflow - Scanning

When the Scan button on the Imaging Workflow List is pressed, the Scan Image form is presented. You can select from a variety of fields that will be tied to the scanned images. Based on the Imaging Type selected, images will be scanned to a specific Imaging Station for Workflow input. Although Imaging Types are associated with specific stations, the user does have the ability to override the default station and select another in it's place.

Practice	Displays the practice that the user has currently selected. Image will be scanned into this practice.
Date	You may enter/select the date represented by the images. For demographic and charge images, the date should generally be the service date. For payments, this date should be the remittance date.
Process Images	The Process Images drop-down list has two options: "Create an image for each page" Will create a separate image for each page contained in an imported file (or files). Example: If you have 3 files to import with 4 pages each, you will end up with 12 separate images. "Create one multi-page image" Will create one image with multiple pages for a file (or files) imported that contain multiple pages. Example: If you have 3 files to import with 4 pages each, you will end up with 1 image with 12 pages. Note: Create one Multi-Page Image should be used on Bulk EOBs.
Imaging Type	You must enter/select the type of image to be scanned.
Imaging Station	If the Imaging Type setup indicates that the images should be scanned to a Station, then the user may select the Station to which the images should be scanned. The default station the Image Type is associated will be displayed, but the user may override this and select another station if they wish.
Description	Enter the first portion of the description assigned to the image documents. MedSuite will append a sequential number after the description. For example, Hospital Demographics can be called DEMO and then MedSuite will assign 00001, 00002, etc to create unique document ID's DEMO00001, DEMO00002, etc..
Brightness	The Default Brightness assigned to the Imaging Type is displayed and may be overridden. If certain images are typically scanned from a poor quality original such as the yellow copy of a carbon-less form, MedSuite can, by default, brighten those images to make them more legible. A higher number will brighten the image.
Threshold	The Default Threshold assigned to the Imaging Type is displayed and may be overridden. MedSuite scans in black and white. The resolution (horizontal and vertical dots per inch) of a scanner dictates how many dots-per-inch an image is made up of. In black and white mode, each dot is "seen" as either white or black. Changing the threshold to a higher value will darken the "black" of an image.
Use Duplexing	If the scanner supports duplexing, the user may select this option to capture documents with text on both sides in one pass through the scanner.
Optional Scan Engine	Some scanners have TWAIN drivers that have problems communicating with MedSuite which can be resolved by using the Optional Scan Engine. This should only be used in cases where MedSuite Support has suggested turning this on.
