Where To Import Images
Clinical records such as Significant Events, iBID, Wound Assessment and Skin lesion all have imaging capabilities to allow the user to add linked patient images.
To upload a new image, you must select the most appropriate clinical record in which you can upload your images. For example; if your images are of a burn patient, it is likely you will have an IBID record available into which you can upload your images. Likewise, if your images are of a patients skin lesion, there should be a Skin Lesion Assessment record to upload your images into. If there is no appropriate clinical record available, you should create a new Significant Event record & use that to detail the circumstances around the need for your image capture.
At any point, adding new images to your clinical record is available under the New Button on the main toolbar :
