CERNER MILLENNIUM Image Importing Into Unity This demonstration reviews how to import images into the Unity chart. Details of the workflow will likely vary somewhat, depending on practice policy & clinic layout, though this should give you a good idea of the functionality. This has been prepared/updated for Millennium code level 2015.01.21 & mPage 6.4. Subsequent updates may display cosmetic & functional changes. All patient names displayed are fictitious. Use the keyboard or mouse to advance.

Many workflow tabs, or mPages, will display Clinical Images Many workflow tabs, or mPages, will display Clinical Images. These can be photos, scans, or imaged documents.

If you have a clinical photo you would like to import onto the encounter, click the Clinical Images heading, or Clinical Images on the Table of Contents menu. Note that sometimes you may see the term Media Gallery instead of Clinical Images.

This gives you some other viewing options, as well as a way to import images. You can display thumbnails of images here, as well as select the size of the thumbnail you prefer.

Say you have a photo related to a wound you would like to import Say you have a photo related to a wound you would like to import. You’ll need to take the photo with a digital camera of some sort, & then either plug it in via cable to the computer’s USB port, or transfer it to the computer in some other HIPAA-responsible fashion. Then click +Add. Or an option that simplifies things is to click the dropdown arrow next to it & select Quick Add.

In the ensuing popup, click the Set content type dropdown arrow In the ensuing popup, click the Set content type dropdown arrow. Scroll & select an appropriate option. Here we’ll take Wound Photos.

Then click Browse.

This opens a file explorer, similar to what you see on most any computer. For the purpose of demonstration, we’ll say the photo is saved to a folder on the local computer. Expand the Local Disk C drive. (This could just as easily be a thumb drive or digital camera.)

Browse to the photo & double-click it.

You can type a more useful name for the photo, if desired. When done, click OK (or OK and More to add more photos).

The imported photo is shown. To see it better, change the thumbnail size to something larger.

When done, use the back arrow or the Table of Contents to navigate back to your workflow mPage.

The image displays here now too (after refresh) The image displays here now too (after refresh). You have a slider to adjust the size.

Also, just hovering your mouse over the photo will display a larger version.

There are other viewing & filtering options available both on the mPage & Table of Contents you may wish to explore. There is also some rudimentary image editing capability, but it’s largely not worth attempting. ALSO REMEMBER: After you have completed the import, for HIPAA/patient privacy concerns, delete the original photo from the camera, thumb drive, computer folder, or other means you used to import it.

In the future we expect to have a HIPAA-compliant smartphone app that will simplify photography & secure image transfer, leaving no patient information on the device, but that functionality is not available at this time.
