Question

Shortcut to a specific page

asked on April 8, 2014

Hi folks,

 

 

Summary

We have a medical record that consists of 20 or so document types (sections).  We receive an outside medical record as a patient history, and parts of that history meet the requirements for more than one section.  We would like to keep the history intact.  We also need to put the pertinent parts of the document into the corresponding sections.

 

I understand that there isn't an option to shortcut to a particular page, so I wanted to ask how you seasoned veterans might handle this scenario:

 

Using lab results as an example.  We run lab results for which we can a distinct lab report that can nicely go into the Lab Results section.  However, we also receive medical records from outside practitioners in the form of a history of the patient's care at their facility.  As part of that history may be a summary of lab results that may be applicable and so may not need to be duplicated at our center.  The physician will expect that all relevant lab results for this patients current care is within the lab results section.

 

What we'd really like to do is have a shortcut that opens the corresponding document, displaying the relevant page only.  We understand that there's no such thing as a page shortcut.  The doctor does not want a solution where they have to scroll or go to a bookmark within a document, they just want the page.

 

Is the best thing to just put a copy of that page in the relevant section (a duplicate page)? Is there some other method?

 

Thanks for any insight you might be able to provide.

 

Sincerely,

Adam

You could always leave the original document intact, but copy the results pages into their own document. A few pages here and there aren't going to add up to much storage overhead.

Hey Adam,

 

As Devin suggested, I would break up your records so each section would be its own document. Just have one folder for each medical record, and number each section so they fall in order within that folder:

 

01 Section A

02 Section B

03 Section C

 

If you linked all of them together, you could open up any one section independently, but have access to all others from within the Document Viewer! That way you could also have shortcuts to specific sections without having to scroll through the entire document.

 

For more information on linking documents together, refer to our online help files.

Hi Gents,

 

I appreciate your feedback. I was asked to leave the original document intact (which is why we didn't just cut and drop them into their sections), but I appreciate the suggestions. I'll give it some consideration and see if our clinicians can live with their Outside Labs section documents being in multiple parts.  I included an example structure below in case you have any other suggestions.  many thanks.

 

Patient

- History & Physical (Section 1)

- X-Rays (Section 2)

- Lab Results (Section 3)

- - Quest Lab-03-07-2014-XXYYA

- - LabCorp Lab-03-09-2014-1234kk

- - GoodStart Lab-03-09-2014-kl2ll2l

- - QuestLab-03-14-2014-123lkjl

- - [Page 56 & 57]

- Outside Medical Records

- - 112-Page History with page 56 & 57 that contain relevant lab results

- - 56-Page History with page 12  that contains relevant lab results

- - 22-Page History with no relevant results

...

Thanks Devin, I'm going to go with this for now. I appreciate you taking the time to take a look and offer your thoughts.

Any reason you can't split the document up into it's constituent pieces? If you could identify those pieces you could build an index of shortcuts to each individual document and arrange them however you needed, even placing shortcuts in more than one place.
