How to use Document Scanning

Document Scanning in Artisan keeps all hard copies of old reports and labs securely accessible from the cloud.

Using Document Scanning


There are two interfaces for document scanning :

1. On the Administrative Staff's Patient Info page

2. In the Administration Quick Tools menu.

From Within the Patient Chart


From the Document Management tab, there are two options to add scanned documents into Artisan.

1. Add New Document. Use this button to upload a document from your computer. This is a good option for items scanned previously or received through email.

2. Scan Document. Use this button to scan documents directly from a TWAIN compatible scanner into Artisan. This is a good option for hard copies you and in your office that you want to add into Artisan.


Add new folder allows you to create multiple folders to organize all uploaded documents. Click the add new folder button.



Enter the name of the folder that you wish to create then click the OK button. In the above example, we entered Medical Records.


 

You can create multiple folders as needed. 

Click on the folder's name that you wish to edit or delete the folder. 



Click the Rename Folder button to edit the folder and click the Delete Folder button if you wish to delete the folder. 



Upload a Document From Your Computer

Click Add New Document to open the Add Document window.




Click the Browse button and select the document that you wish to upload. Once you have a file selected, click Upload.



Your document will be displayed in the viewer. Fill in all of the document information on the right.

Document Name: Use this field to label your document. This name is very important as it will be the main method of identifying what the document is.

Patient Name: The patient's name will auto-populate.

Document Type: Select the category of the document. You are able to choose from Lab, Imaging, Records, Financials, and Consents. 

Date Created: Today's date will auto-populate.

Folder Name: Click the drop-down icon to select the folder name. 

Once you finish adding the document information, click Save.



You can now see the uploaded document in the Medical Records Folder. To view documents inside the created folders click the plus sign icon before the folder's name to collapse the folder and view all documents that have been uploaded.

To delete a document, click the Delete Document button. You have 48 hours to delete an uploaded document. 


You are also able to drag and drop the scanned document from one folder to another.  


Scan a Document Directly From Your Scanner

Scanning directly from a scanner has a few prerequisites. Your scanner must be TWAIN compatible. If your scanner is TWAIN compatible, it may still need additional drivers to function properly with Artisan. If you are not sure if your scanner is TWAIN compatible or need help installing the necessary drivers, contact Artisan support.

TWAIN scanning is only supported on Windows and Mac computers.


Setup TWAIN Scanning

Before you scan for the first time, you need to download and install the TWAIN service so Artisan can detect your scanner.


Click on Scan Document to start the process.


You will see this window pop-up on your screen. Click Download.



Open the downloaded file and follow the onscreen instructions to install the service. Once installed, refresh the page.
