Associate Multiple Images from the Finding Images

The Finding Images feature enables you to attach an image to each finding. You can attach an image file saved to your file system or the patient's chart for the current encounter.

  1. Select a patient.
  2. Select an existing encounter or create a encounter.
  3. Open the template that contains the Graphical Exam Tool (GET) component.
    The GET component window opens.
  4. Select the Options and Settings Popup Menu icon and select Finding Images.
    The Finding Images window opens.

  5. From the IMAGES pane, drag an image to a FINDING and repeat as needed.
  6. As images are added to the Finding, the image count displays as 1 of x, 2 of x, and so on (where x is the total number of images). The format for the description is as follows: Finding Name - Region Description( x. y) where x represents the sequential number of multiple images sets and y represents the image number in the set. For example, Acne-R120(1.1), Acne-R120(1.2), Acne-R120(1.3), Acne-R121(2.1), Acne-R121(2.2), Acne-R121(2.3), and so on.
  7. To reorganize or modify images associated with a Finding, perform the following:
  8. In the FINDINGS pane, select a Finding, and then select Manage.
    A list of images associated with the Finding opens.

  9. To change the image order, select the Up or Down Arrow button.
  10. To remove an image, select the image and select Delete.
  11. Select OK.
  12. In the Findings Images window, select OK.
    An icon appears in the Findings Data Grid row denoting that multiple images are attached to the finding. The Photo section of the GET component appears.

  13. On the NextGen® Enterprise toolbar, select Save.
    All the images saved to the patient's chart are renamed to the Image Description that is Finding Name-Region Description( x.x). You can also associate multiple images to a finding from the Findings Data Grid and Images pane.
