Admissions: Attachments

The Attachments page within Admissions allows you to easily add, view, manage, and print files linked to a patient’s admission record. Because attachments are shared across both Admissions and Primary Care, any file added in one module will also be visible in the other, ensuring consistency and accessibility throughout the patient’s record.

This guide will walk you through the key functions, including how to access the Attachments page in Admissions, view attachments in both Admissions and Primary Care, upload new attachments, and delete attachments.

By following these steps, you’ll be able to keep admission records accurate and complete, while maintaining seamless integration with the patient’s overall care documentation.

Accessing and Viewing Attachments in Admissions and Primary Care

To manage Attachments for a patient’s Admission, open the Admissions module from the patient record and click the Attachments tab in the sub-menu to view all linked files. These are also accessible from the Clinical tab in Primary Care, as Attachments are shared between both modules.

From the Admissions Tab:

Uploading an Attachment

1. To upload an attachment, click on Admissions from the menu, select the Patient name, go to Attachments, and click New Attachment.
   
   
   

2. Alternatively, you can click New Attachment from the Admission Shortcuts Toolbar.

   
   
   
3. This will open the Attachments window. Select the relevant category from Admissions History, Admissions Notes, Assessments, Charting, or Demographics.
   
   
4. Click Select Files and choose the file from your computer or network.
   
   
   
5. Click Attach.
   
   
   
6. This has now been attached to the Admission record of the patient.

Filtering Attachments

In the Attachments tab within the Primary Care module, use the Filter dropdown to search attachments by uploader name or upload date. 

This allows you to quickly locate specific attachments based on who added them or when they were uploaded.

Note: Deleted attachments are permanently removed from both Admissions and Primary Care views
