Found a small work-around... sort of. Using the "this is not a bug but a feature" logic ... if you imports something that doesn't need an immediate attention, at the point where the windows shows doctor to notify, just hit the cancel/close windows (X on the top right).
It will still import the file, log the file as "NOT YET REVIEWED:" but will not generate an e-mail message to you. The next time you open the chart for some other reason, you can just sign it off en masse.

My inbox gets overloaded by requests to sign-off items which don't need to be signed, such as patient's insurance cards, EKGs, Xrays and other scanned reports which have already been signed by me on paper.

We are completely paperless. Office employees scan on average 10-15 items per hour. I have to interrupt my work every 2-3 hours to clean up my inbox because it becames so crowded by this junk mail making it difficult to find forwarded patient charts.
