Please use the steps below to scan any paper document into the patients' file:

Click on the ‘Contacts’ tab of a patients file

Click on Scan  in the bottom right-hand corner

From the screen below select the scan type – if your document is only one page select ‘Single Page Scan’ and if it is more than 1 select ‘Multi-Page Scan’

From the screen below select the paper source from the drop-down (this is whether you will be using your flatbed or feeder) and choose the picture type – I would advise using Black and White as this will be a smaller file.

Click on Scan and you will see the screen below:

1. The date will automatically generate to the date you are scanning the item in. If you need to backdate this you can.

2. You will need to enter a description so that people can easily identify the document is.

3. The creator will automatically be set as the person who is logged in when the scanning is taking place.

4. The category will automatically set as the first in your list. To change the category click on the list button and select from your available categories.

You will need to set up a GMS payor in order for the Med Card checker to appear.

File > Payor > Add new Payor > Set Payor Type to: GMS > Restart Exact

After you have set up a GMS payor the Med Card checker will appear under the Recalls Tab for the patient.

The Validator has two fields:

• Med Card

• Expiry

Only the Med Card field is used in the validation process, the expiry is not used.

A successful validation will provide the following details:

• Whether or not the card number is valid on a GMS scheme

• Doctor Number

• Date of birth

• Eligibility Start Date

• Eligibility End Date

These details should match the information received from the online checker (https://www.sspcrs.ie/portal/checker/pub/check).
