How to add documents to a patient's chart

There are two ways to add documents to a patient's chart
  1. File documents from the Fax Inbox
  2. Upload documents directly within the patient's chart using the drag-and-drop feature
 

When to use the drag-and-drop feature

The drag-and-drop feature comes in handy when you have documents on your computer that you would like to upload to a patient's chart. You can only use the drag-and-drop feature to upload one document at a time. If you need to upload multiple documents, you will need to take the drag-and-drop steps multiple times.

Use the Fax Inbox if:

  • If you need to combine multiple documents into one record in the chart
  • If a single document contains records for more than one patient

  2. Click on the file from your the folder on your computer, hold down on your mouse cursor and drag the file anywhere over the patient's chart in Elation and release your mouse cursor to drop the file
