Medical Records: Images and Documents

Our software has a medical images and documents management system so healthcare providers can organize, view and use patient files within their clinical workflows. It allows for multiple types of documents to be integrated, from diagnostic imaging to patient forms, to document patient interactions and clinical findings. Below we’ll go into the features and benefits of the medical records images and documents management system.

Adding Patient Images

Our software has a patient images management solution within the medical records system. Healthcare providers can upload, capture and attach images to patient records so all visual documentation is stored securely and is easily accessible.

  • Upload Images: Users can upload images from their devices into the system and link them to the relevant patient file. This supports multiple file types including standard image formats like JPEG and PNG.

  • Capture Images: For clinics and facilities with imaging devices our software allows for direct capture of patient images. These images can be added to the patient’s chart immediately so clinical documentation is up to date and accurate.

  • Edit and Update: Once an image is added users can edit it using built in tools like zoom and annotate which provides a clear view and detailed interpretation of the patient’s condition. Any changes made are saved within the patient’s record so all changes are documented.

View and Compare Images

The system has an image viewer with several features to aid image analysis:

  • Preview and Full Screen: Users can click on image thumbnails to preview in the patient’s record or open in full screen for a closer view. This allows healthcare providers to zoom in as needed.

  • Zoom and Drag: The viewer has zoom and drag features so healthcare professionals can zoom in on specific areas and move the image around in the viewing pane. This is important for diagnostic images like X-rays and MRIs to get precise clinical assessments.

  • Image Comparison: The software allows for comparing multiple images side by side. By selecting the images of interest users can see changes over time like wound healing or tumor growth to make more informed decisions.

Adding and Managing Patient Documents

Patient documents are a part of the medical record and includes many types of files from diagnostic reports to treatment plans. Our software has several ways to add and manage documents:

  • Attach Existing Files: Users can attach files like PDFs or Word documents from their devices. This feature allows for attaching external documents like lab reports, referral letters and specialist reports to the patient’s record so all relevant information is in one place.

  • Document Templates: The software has document templates so healthcare providers can generate standard documents quickly. Users can choose from existing templates or create their own and customize documents for specific needs like discharge summaries or patient intake forms.

PDF and Word Document Support

The system can handle PDF and MS Word documents with ease and has options to view, edit and integrate these formats into the patient’s medical record:

  • PDF Form Integration: Predefined PDF forms can be filled out within the software so healthcare staff can complete forms directly linked to the patient’s record. Fields will be populated with patient information where possible to save time and ensure consistency.

  • Word Document Templates: The software also has Word templates stored within the system for easy access. Users can generate consultation summaries, medical reports or other standard documents using these templates for professional and consistent output.

Organize and Filter Documents

To make it easy to access and organize documents our software has several categorization and filtering options:

  • Categorize Documents: Users can categorize documents by type like lab reports, imaging results or patient forms so they can be quickly retrieved during patient visits. This categorization means all relevant documents are accessible without having to navigate through unrelated files.

  • Date and Keyword Search: Documents can be searched by date range or keywords so healthcare providers can find specific records quickly. This is especially useful when dealing with large volumes of patient data as it narrows down the search results to the relevant files.

Custom Document Templates

Our software allows creating and managing custom document templates so healthcare providers can customize their documentation process to their needs:

  • MS Word and PDF Templates: Users can design custom templates using MS Word or PDF and save and reuse across different patient records. This is great for generating patient intake forms, consent forms or treatment summaries so all necessary information is captured.

  • Template Library: The system has a library of pre-defined templates for common scenarios like referral letters, consultation notes and medical certificates. These templates can be imported into the system and customized to match the practice’s documentation standards.

Patient Chart Integration

The images and documents management system is fully integrated with the patient chart module so all visual and textual information is in one place:

  • Linking Documents to Consultations: When a consultation is recorded, documents and images can be linked within the patient’s chart. This integration allows healthcare providers to see all relevant information for the patient’s visit in one place.

  • From Patient Timeline: Images and documents can also be accessed from the patient’s timeline so you can see a chronological view of all entries. This feature allows you to track patient progress over time with clickable thumbnails to jump to detailed records.

DICOM Image Support

For healthcare facilities that manage diagnostic imaging our software has DICOM image support so you can integrate and manage these specialized files:

  • DICOM Viewer: The system has a DICOM viewer which has zoom, pan and rotate functionality so healthcare providers can view diagnostic images in detail. This is important for radiologists and other specialists who need to manipulate images for accurate assessments.

  • Image Capture from Devices: DICOM images can be captured directly from devices so all imaging studies are integrated into the patient’s record. This allows real-time viewing and updating of diagnostic tests like MRIs or CT scans.

  • Patient Record Integration: DICOM images are linked to the patient’s medical chart so healthcare providers can access diagnostic imaging during patient visits or follow-up.

Real-Time Updates and Sharing

The system has real-time updates so any changes made to documents or images are reflected across the system:

  • Real-Time Sync: When documents are added, edited or updated they are synced in real-time within the patient’s medical record. This ensures all healthcare providers have access to the latest information for collaborative care.

  • Sharing and Printing: Documents and images can be shared securely with authorized staff within the facility. Healthcare providers can also print documents directly from the system including consultation reports, lab results and diagnostic imaging summaries.

Image and Document Editing

  • Image: Users can zoom, annotate and adjust contrast on patient images. This is useful for healthcare providers who need to highlight areas or add notes to imaging studies.

  • Document: Patient forms, reports and templates can be edited within the program. Users can modify PDF forms or update Word documents without needing external software so all changes are within the patient’s record.

Security and Permissions

To protect patient records the software has permission settings to control who can access and edit images and documents:

  • Role Based Access Control: The system has role based access control so only authorized users can view or edit patient files. This helps facilities maintain confidentiality while ensuring staff can access the information they need.

  • User Permissions: Administrators can set permissions for different user roles (doctors, nurses, admin staff) on patient documents and images. This helps with a secure and organized workflow.

Summary

Our software’s medical records images and documents module gives facilities a powerful tool to manage patient files. From uploading and capturing images to integrating documents and DICOM files, the system has all patient information in one place. With customizable templates, organized features and patient chart integration the documentation and analysis process is streamlined for better patient care and clinical efficiency. With real-time updates and permissions healthcare providers can be sure their documentation is up to standard and professional.
