Files: An Overview

Overview of the updated system for uploading, managing, and storing patient Files

In This Article

 

Description

Files, Aeon's Document Management System, is here to help clinics easily store, review, organize, and manage all sorts of patient and administrative files. It makes uploading, categorizing, and linking Tasks a breeze!

Staff and practitioners can effortlessly upload Files like lab results, imaging, and consult notes into patient charts, review new items, and share important data with other providers. You can access it during Charting and administrative workflows, making your day a little smoother.

Some common tasks you will perform using Files include:

  • Upload and categorize Files by type, observation date, and assignees
  • Review and acknowledge/dismiss Files
  • Attach Files to Tasks or Consults
  • Edit File details

 

🎓 Training Tip: Files are any type of document/attachment related to the patient that you receive or create and want to save to the patient's file. 

 

 

Location

You can find this feature right in the clinician's workflow during patient visits, accessed through the Patient Profile:

files-1

 

A. Files Index:  list of all Files associated with this patient

B. Patient Sidebar:  for quick access to recent Files during patient encounters

Additionally, in areas where you can attach a File to another Aeon component, you will see this option.  For example, in Consults, you can attach Files.
