How Andre Attaches Images To The Chart In Eaglesoft

Why do I recommend that Clinical Documents be placed in Eaglesoft Advanced Imaging and NOT into SmartDoc.
I see the Clinical Screen the way I see the view over the dashboard of a modern car. The information the driver (doctor) sees should be information that is important for the time it takes to glance up, review and decide which way to turn. Imagine that the driver must click a button; visually search for a information among other information that doesn’t relate to driving; click the information he wants; review it, close it, and then get back to the race.
I think that the view the driver sees should stay clear. With a click of a finger and a slight glance to the left, see RPM, oil pressure, tire pressure etc. (that the patient was seen by a specialist, that a predetermination was received, that there is a good diagnostic image and that a consent was received).
When an image is placed into Eaglesoft Advanced Imaging you have the ability to connect that image to a tooth number (or multiple teeth). SmartDoc does NOT allow you to do this. You can NOT transfer images from SmartDoc to Advanced Imaging. What I suggest is that you start the process on a clear date (like Jan 1st). That way you know that any document the comes in after 1/1 it’s in imaging if before, it’s in SmartDoc. It will take a bit to get use to but after, the world is much easier. You can only attach images. No PDFs (sorry) but you can use the Microsoft Snipping Tooth to “grab” images from PDFs.
To view the images from your Chart, you have to right click on he thumbnail and click "view full size" (in versions 19+). UGH! I liked the old way but I'll move forward....
