Docu-Portal

Docu-Portal is a new module for SOAPware users which provides two major feature additions to the EMR:  (1) inbound and outbound faxing which is integrated with the chart, and (2) a secure patient portal for providing records to patients.  In addition, there are a host of additional communication, document editing, and document capturing features included in the Docu-Portal, such as secure messaging to non-patient contacts, screen capture, PDF editing and generation, and scanned document uploads.  Docu-Portal provides tracking of fax and e-mail communications and provides configurable individual and shared views to inboxes and sent items.  Docu-Portal has been developed for SOAPware by Updox.

Interface

Docu-Portal is viewed through popular browsers, such as Internet Explorer, Google Chrome, Firefox and Safari.  Depending on your configuration, Docu-Portal is accessible anywhere on the Internet or only within your SOAPware VPN.  An icon saved to your desktop will bring you to the sign-in screen after your set-up.  You can also keep Docu-Portal running in your system tray, so that the screen can be hidden, except when being used.  Small messages appear in the system tray to let you know that Docu-Portal has a new item for you to work.  You can also choose to receive notifications on your desk or phone e-mail to alert you to certain items.

Requirements

Requirements = Java version 6, SOAPwareXchange 2010.1.X or above

Click Here, verify that you have all the aspects of the interface installed & configured.

Docu-Portal Connector

Docu-Portal Connector

When creating your Docu-Portal account, you will be prompted to select an EMR, in our case SOAPware & a custom connector will be created for this interfacing between your SOAPware & Docu-Portal, called the Docu-Portal Connector.  The connector is a file (soapware_hosted.jnlp) that is ran by Java, installed to Start > Programs > Docu-Portal Connector and has several settings that can be adjusted to assist you with your personal & EMR interaction with Docu-Portal.

The Connector

The Connector

The Connector creates the link between the Updox Service Database & SOAPwareXchange.  The application logs into your account on Docu-Portal so that you can send & receive your requested documents/information from your local computer or SOAPware.

1. Connection Information is your personal login information so that the connector can interface with Docu-Portal.  Server location (https://www.myupdox.com/udb) is generally never modified unless directed differently by SOAPware Technical Support.

2. Save to Disk Options Patient Home Folder is the location on your local computer where the Patient Chart Directory File will be created. The option “Send to Disk”in patient associated actions will automatically create a series of sub-folders within this folder, as configured by the “Patient Folder Pattern”.  The Patient Folder Pattern directs the filing order and file naming of patient-specific folders which are saved directly to your computer (in addition to saving them in SOAPware). When you select a category at the time of filing the record, that category will become (or populate an existing) sub directory under the patient folder. For example, assuming the home folder is C:\PatientData and the record is titled “Test File”, and it is associated with patient “Joe Smith” and categorized as “Radiology”, the default file pathway of (@LI@/@LN, @FN@) will create the following file location:

C:\PatientData\S\Smith, Joe\Radiology\Test File.pdf

The following abbreviations are used to construct the actual folder path based on patient and action attributes:

   @LI@ – Labeled with the patient's last initial

   @FI@ – Labeled with the patient's first initial

   @LN@ – Labeled with the patient's last name

   @FN@ – Labeled with the patient's first name

   @ID@ – Labeled with the patient's account number

   @BD@ – Labeled with the patient's birth date

3. Import Directory Options SOAPwareXchange "In" Directory, ordinarily, users do not change this from the default. This must match the "In" folder location of SOAPwareXchange, specified in the SOAPwareXchange "Set Locations" settings.  Report Download Directory, ordinarily, users do not change this from the default. This must match the location SOAPwareXchange expects to find the files to be imported, as specified in the file sent by the Docu-Portal Connector to SOAPwareXchange for processing.

 

Docu-Portal for SOAPware

Docu-Portal for SOAPware

After your Docu-Portal Account is created, when you go to login at http://www.Updox.com you will be prompted to select your EMR, SOAPware in our case, then a file will begin to download (soapware_hosted.jnlp).  This file will be ran by Java & start the "Updox for SOAPware" Helper which includes all the same tools mentioned below in "Main Menu Explained" & a few others.

1. Open Docu-Portal Browser will take you to the login page of your practice Docu-Portal website or the main page if your already logged in.

2. Open Auto Upload Folder will open, on your local computer, the folder associated with the "auto upload to Docu-Portal" function (default = C:\Documents and Settings\USER\SendToDocu-Portal).
