The ChartGallery add-on is a repository for information that is presented to the clinic from outside sources, as well as a place to store images from charts, x-rays, lab results, and any other type of graphical information. This feature closes the loop for all of the disparate information that is usually stuffed in file folders; and it’s electronic. Any information stored may be reviewed or printed along with the narrative reports.

Quick Scan Templates

Quick Scan Templates are used within ChartGallery to streamline the scanning of any common document, be it a Drivers License, Insurance Card, or even printed Lab Results. Dimensions, color depth, and even the resulting file name are all generated by the template, allowing one-click scanning of many common items.

Quick Document Preview

Quickly browse through images and documents using the "Media Preview" panel. This panel gives a resized preview of the selected item, including any annotations, thus allowing fast identification of a desired image or document. The following media file types can be previewed:

.pdf - PDF Documents
.doc - Microsoft Word Documents
.txt - Plain Text Files
.html - Web Documents
.jpg, .gif, .png, .tif - Image Files

Stored Annotations

Annotations such as color highlighting and "sticky note" style comments can be added to scanned images and documents as desired. The annotations themselves remain with the media file but do not overwrite any information. As such, they can be edited, moved, or removed all together at any time.

Comprehensive File Type Support

Both Microsoft Word and Adobe PDF file formats can be imported and viewed within ChartGallery, all without within the need for third party software such as Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader. ChartGallery's own media reader can interpret and display both of these document types out of the box, no additional software is needed!

Audio/Video Storage

ChartGallery not only provides storage for image and document files, but also includes a repository for common Audio / Video formats. Any recorded sound or video files pertaining to the patient's chart can be quickly imported into their ChartGallery record. Once included, these media items can be quickly retrieved, viewed, or even saved as an external file.

Quickly Email, Print, or View Stored Media

ChartGallery provides comprehensive access to all media items. Any item can be sent as an Email to a referring physician (or even them patient them self) by simply choosing a right-click option. Files can also be Emailed or Printed en-masse, or even saved as external files.

Secure Storage and Retrieval

Of course, interlaced security features enforce tight controls on viewing and printing of the data captured in ChartGallery. Over twenty granular security settings can be set on a per-role or per-user basis to allow or limit a given user's access to functions and stored media within ChartGallery.

Included in these options are document "sensitivity" levels. Using these sensitivity levels, a given user can be granted access to innocuous items such as Drivers License or Insurance Card images, while still being restricted from confidential medical information (i.e. lab reports, narrative records, etc.)
