In the Provider Approval Queue tab, you can link NextGen® Document Management images to open orders in the Orders module and NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine to provide a consistent status for orders and their associated results. After you link the NextGen® Document Management image to the open order, its status updates to Assigned in the Orders module. In the Order Management template in the NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine, the status is either Completed or Result Received, based on the settings in File Maintenance Practice Preferences. Open the Workflow module. Select the Provider Approval Queue tab. In the Pending tab, select a NextGen® Document Management image from the list. A preview of the item is displayed in the viewing pane. Select the Orders module . Link and Unlink tabs open. If the NextGen® Document Management image is not linked to any open order, the Link tab is selected by default. If the image is already linked to an open order, the Unlink tab is selected by default.

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
