To help you visualize how ChartNet works, we've put together a series of screen shots that shows the process of creating a new report.

Step 1:  Select the site that this report will be saved in. Example of sites would be “Medical Records”, “Radiology”, etc.

Step 2: After selecting a site, the report selection screen will display showing all the reports typed for this site. The transcriptionist would press F1 to begin a new report.

Step 3:  Select the form type for this dictation from the list.

Step 4:  Next, the transcriptionist searches for the patient that the dictation is for. Searching can be done by name, medical record number, or account number.

Step 5:  Next, the report demographic screen is completed. Most fields will automatically be filled from the Master Patient Index search.

Step 6:  Type the report using ChartNet's built-in word processor.

Step 7:  To enhance productivity, ChartNet's built-in speed typing (ExpandType) can be used anywhere in the report to turn abbreviations into full text. The following shows the ExpandType maintenance screen.

Step 8:  When finished, the transcriptionist presses F10 to automatically spellcheck and save the report. Below is an example of ChartNet's spellcheck dialog box.

Step 9:  After saving the report, the final step is to OK the distribution of the report. In this example, the report is to be printed.
