Document scanning configuration consists of creating document types that are used to categorize each scanned sheet, and assigning restrictions to each document type so they appear only when needed and only by authorized users.
Document types are site-specific categories assigned to each scanned document. Examples include exam documents such as procedure request forms, worksheets such as technologist spec sheet, and general documents such as patient identification and insurance verification cards. Document type options appear on the scanning interface so users can assign them to each scanned document.
To define and edit document types, do the following:
Click the Admin tab.
Click the Settings tab.
Scroll to the System Settings section.
Click the Document Type Settings link to display the document type web page.
To create a new document type,
Click the New button, , to
display the document type definition page.
Enter the document type details. Required fields are identified by the yellow background.
Click Save to save the changes.
To edit an existing document type, including the system
defaults, click the Edit button, ,
in the row for the type definition to display the document type definition
page. Follow the instructions listed above for creating a document
type to modify the type’s settings.
To assign a document type to a scanned document sent into the PACS system using Secondary Capture SOP Class and a Conversion Type setting, (0008,0064), equal to SD or WSD, define a coercion rule. Assign the corresponding document type’s ID value to attribute (F215,xx75).
By default, unassigned objects identified as scanned documents comply with the restriction rules defined for Undefined types. This is a system-defined document type available for editing on the Document Types Settings table.
Deleted document types are retired and cannot be reused because of the possibility of conflicts in existing data. As a result, they are never really deleted from a dotcom. In the event a document type ID must be reinstated, a user with support rights can restore it.
