Open a Patient's Chart from the Task List
You can open a patient's chart or open the attachment associated with a task from the task list.
Note: When a patient's chart is attached to an email and sent using the NextGen® Enterprise EHR email function, the data in the patient's chart is not encrypted. It may not be encrypted unless the email is sent through an external email system that uses encryption. Before using the NextGen® Enterprise EHR email function to send patient information, ensure that your system and processes comply with Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (HIPAA) regulations.
- Select the task in the task list.
- Below the details section, select Chart on the toolbar to open the desired encounter within the patient's chart.
Note: If the selected task contains attachments (such as a document, template, or image), NextGen® Enterprise EHR opens the patient's chart and prompts you with the attachment. If an attachment contains a NextGen® Document Management image, the attachment automatically opens in NextGen® Document Management or NextGen® Enterprise EHR. The application opens the selected attachment based on your user preferences.
