Home Forums Discussions Problems Need to Print Patients' Imported Items: Provider Leaving Practice

Printing Imported Items
Transfer Imported Items

Hi, One of our providers is moving to another practice. He wants his patient charts and imported items. We can PrintAllNotes/SavetoPDF out all the encounter notes for each of his individual patients. but.....

The problem we are having is printing out the Imported Items for each patient. Currently, we have to go in and print out each imported item individually.

Is there a more efficient manner to print out/transfer the Imported Items for his patients. It is turning into a labor intensive/cost intensive process.

Alternatively, is there a way to create a PDF of the patient's entire medical record. patient encounters and imported items.

Much thanks in advance!

"Madly in love with AC"

I print a lot of pdfs of records, but I select certain items so I wouldn't be the best to answer. For instance, we never print the patient messages unless subpoenaed. (sp?)

For II, the only way to do it "quickly" would be to write down all the patient numbers, then go to II folder. Open. Inside will be a patient folder which corresponds to all of the numbers.

Open the folder. Inside will be all of the imported items. You can print these. Or combine them with most PDF software and print.

Why would you bother printing all the "imported items"?
Nowdays, a huge amount of that is bloat and useless garbage.
All I would want to send with a chart to someone else would be a few recent labs and imaging reports, and probably some consultant reports.

Does your doctor really want all the INR reports for the last 5 years?
Or all the copies of correspondence with insurance clerks about prior authorizations?
Or ER and Urgent Care visits for stubbed toes and earaches -- with each report taking 15 pages to document?

Of course, what we often get from other practices is a xerox copy of all that and more-- half a ream of paper which the clerks dutifully scan in, and would then be something that would be passed on to the next practice in your scenario.

ok not really a "why" question....lol. This is more of a "how" question....

Bert, so let me get this straight. in the imported items, the individual folders correspond to a patient. If that is the case, where do i find the patient number that corresponds to the patient's imported items folder....

thanks again.

I might be able to help. When you call up any patient in AC, the patient's name and DOB appear in the very top bar of the AC window. On my computer, the bar is blue. Also in that bar is "ID: 2596" or some other number. When you go into the imported items folder, this patient ID number corresponds to their imported items sub-folder.Hope this helps.

ok..answered

The patient's ID is the same as the folder Name corresponding to the patient's Imported Items.

I didn't understand the structure but now I got it.

ok thanks all

Also if you open a patient chart and go to demographics, the id is there also.
