The Image Batches page is used to manage posted scan batches so image sets can be attached to related charges or payments. The scan batch must be posted in Scan Batches for it to be available in Connect Back Office. This functionality works best with two monitors - one to view the image set and the other to work with the image batches in Back Office. Image Batches include a feature that allows you to code a case directly from the images of the case documents, streamlining the charge entry process. The data coded on the case is automatically imported with the image set to the case created in a charge batch.
The Image Batches page is comprised of three tabs:
- Scan Batches
- Charge Batches
- Payment Batches
Use these tabs to scan and import images into image sets, preview the images in the image batch, and to either create a charge batch or payment batch to attach the images to related charges and payments. You may also preview images by embedding the image viewing in the Coding tab or charge entry pages.
If the charge or payment image batch is not listed on the Charge Batches or Payment Batches tabs, go back to the Scan Batches tab and verify that the scan batch has been posted.
If an image batch does not contain the image set that you need, click the image batch, then click View. The Image Viewer [Batch ID] window opens. Use this window to add images to an existing image set or create image sets to add images. Images are added to image sets by scanning documents or importing images.
You can open the Image Viewer window prior to opening the Image Batches page. Launching Image Viewer from the File menu saves a little time by setting up your work environment prior to working with image batches. You can position the Image Viewer window to make it more convenient to work with image batches and image sets. The options on the Image Viewer window are not available until an image batch is selected from the Image Batches page.
