The Graphical Exam Tool (GET) enables you to:
- Place annotations on images to document the location of findings. The placement of the annotations is converted into text and captured as an attribute of the finding. The attributes are saved to the patient's chart.
For example, a dermatologist can place findings for cancer on an image. The attributes related to each finding can include size, color, location, or description.
- Attach a finding to a chief complaint or reason for visit. You can attach multiple findings to different reasons for visit.
- Mark a finding for follow-up and create a to-do task for the finding.
- Attach an image (photo or drawing) to a finding. The image can be from the provider's file system or from the patient's chart for the current encounter. You can capture an image from a web cam or other video device for attachment to the finding.
- Create and update a lab, radiology, or immunizations order for a finding. Then view test results when they are available.
- Execute a predefined trigger.
The GET uses the images, image toolbars, findings, attributes, and actions defined in a specific graphical profile. You can edit this profile in NextGen® Enterprise EHR if you have the appropriate permissions.
The GET component triggers and profile are set up in the Graphical Exam Tool and Template Editor.
