Scanning

Genie does have the ability to scan directly in to a patient’s record, using ImagePro. For more information on Using ImagePro, please refer to the ImagePro section.

If you intend to scan images or referral letters, the scanner should ideally be attached to one of the client machines. Some scanning software can be unstable, so it’s usually not a good idea to have it attached to the server, because if the server computer crashes, your whole network goes down.

Most scanning software will allow you to designate a default folder for scanned images. You can create this anywhere on your hard disk. Alternatively, you could scan directly into a patient's storage folder on the server, if it already exists.

You can create a patient folder manually if you wish. However, you will need to know their Patient ID number (in the Demographics window), and you will need to ensure that their name is entered correctly in Genie.
