3 Introduction This document was written by Casey Pittman as a basic guide for users with regards to using the Document Management System and Bulk Scan. Getting Started In order to access the Document Management System, you will first need to have a patient already selected. To select a patient, use one of the two following methods: a) Perform a Patient Search; or b) Clicking on a patient in the Appointment Book Once a patient has been selected, click on the Scan button. The Scan button will appear in one of two different locations on the Medilink screen, based on how the patient was selected if the patient was selected via a search (method a), the scan button will appear on the right hand side of the screen; if method b) was used, the Scan button will appear on the left hand side. 2011/08/12 Page 1
