Set Up Document Linking Practice Preferences

To link DM images to orders functions in DM and PAQ, your practice must first set up the appropriate order type filter preferences.

In the Order Type and Default Source section, select the Default Source for each Order Type. If your practice places the majority of your Radiology orders in NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine, select Adaptive Content Engine (as the source). If Lab Orders are placed in or processed to the Order module, select the Orders Module as the source for that order type

Linking DM Images to Orders

When linking an image in NextGen® Document Management or selecting an order with a linked DM image to sign off in PAQ, users can view active orders from the Order module and NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine. When linking a NextGen® Document Management image with an Order module test, the image is stored as a result for that test in the Order module. Linking a NextGen® Document Management image with a NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order updates the status of the order automatically based on the practice preferences set up in the File Maintenance Orders/Results Linking section.

DM Image Linking and Order Status Update Pre-Setup Considerations

Does your practice use NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine or the Orders module to process orders? What type of documents does your practice frequently scan? What order type do you want to set as the default when viewing orders for linking DM images in PAQ or Document Management? For example, Diagnostics/Radiology, Lab Orders, Referrals ( NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine) . After an image is linked to a NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order, what status does your practice want to display in NextGen® Enterprise EHR? For example, should the order status be Completed or Result Received? Parent topic: Setting Up the Link Document Management (DM) Images to Orders and Status Update Preferences

Setting Up the Link Document Management (DM) Images to Orders and Status Update Preferences

Users currently have the ability to link DM scanned images to order tests in the Orders module. Starting with NextGen® Enterprise version 5.8.3, for a more efficient workflow, practices can set up order type filter preferences in File Maintenance to more easily select the orders to link images in PAQ and NextGen® Document Management. By linking these images, when providers sign-off on the test order, the system updates the order status. Users can view the updated status for the order on the Orders Summary tab, as well as the linked image. For practices that use NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine for order processing, users can link a document image to a NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order in either NextGen® Document Management or PAQ, for example a Referral order. Once a NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order is linked (or associated) with an image, the system updates the order status. You can view the updated order status on the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine Order Management templ

Best Practices for Setting Up Order Preferences for DM Images for NextGen Adaptive Content Engine Templates

Practice B Current Order Process: Practice B uses NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine to process orders. Their most frequently processed orders are Radiology orders and Referrals. Practice B manually updates their referral order statuses to Completed when a referral report is received. When result reports are received for Lab and Radiology Orders, Practice B manually updates those orders with a status of Result Received. Once the patient has been contacted with the results, providers then manually update the order statuses to Completed. Best Practice Goal: Practice B wants to display the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order types they most frequently use when linking or associating DM images to orders in Document Management or signing off images or orders in PAQ. By selecting the orders preferences, the practice ensures the system updates the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine order status at the appropriate points in the order lifecycle, reducing manual entry, streamlining the order proc
