I would think going to the ImportedItems folder in the AC folder, finding chart 1372 corresponding to that chart, opening it, highlighting the files and combining them with something like ePrint driver. Now, you have combined all 30 files or whatever. Then, you can print to Paperport.
Bert summarized this pretty accurately.
We do the same thing w/ Adobe Standard edition. The front staff have been taught how to go to pt # 1372 (or whatever) and select all, then they click "combine" and merge these into one PDF file they place on their desktop.
I've read this over and over again, while in AC trying to figure out how this is being done. So please excuse my lame questions...but I really NEED to learn to do this.
What do you mean you select all in a pts chart? What are you selecting? How are you merging into a pdf? I have Adobe Acrobat Standard, but don't see how I can pull the chart into it.
Then they select all of the office visits under Past Encounters and print these en masse, to Adobe PDF print driver, making another PDF file. They drag and drop this into the merged file on the desktop.....and voila! they now have a single PDF that can be burned to a CD to give to a patient, or faxed via our networked fax machine.
Okay, I was able to print to pdf all encounters, and I added the summary sheet. I then opened Adobe and said I wanted to combine the two into one document. It did. But I don't see the drag and drop.
I never allow them to print these records because of the huge cost, unelss a patient requests paper. We usually just give them a CD ROM.
I completely agree. I also want to start doing this with other practices. If I can somehow just make a pdf of the entire chart...life would be good. I'd also appreciate getting this from other offices. Less paper all around!
Thanks for any clarity!
