Assign Barcodes to Document Types

You can assign specific barcodes to different document types. When you scan a document with a barcode, NextGen® Document Management automatically assigns a document type to the image according to the cross-reference configuration that is set up in the Document Types master file. NextGen® Document Management can also file the document to the correct patient if the document uses one of the patient barcodes supported for pre-printed barcodes. Note: The barcode that displays on the image does not require a separator sheet. The patient pre-printed barcodes require NGA prefix followed by the type of the barcodes and the actual value. You can map the existing barcodes to NextGen® Document Management document types. You can also print the patient barcodes on labels and add them on the documents. After barcodes are scanned, pages with the pre-printed barcodes are imported to NextGen® Document Management. Open File Maintenance. In Master Files, select System > Document Management, and then selec
