athenaEnterprise organizations can add Scanned Driver's License Image to the list of shared CPI fields. To add this option to the Common Patient Index, please contact the CSC by selecting Support > Create Case or Call in the Main Menu.
If you scan an image to your system and then use the Browse button to copy that image to the Add/Update Insurance Card Image, Prescription Card Image, or Add/Update Driver's License page, the scanned image must meet the following requirements.
Note: If you use the Burroughs ID card scanner to scan an image, the device uploads the image itself, so these rules do not apply.
- Images must be scanned with the image resolution no greater than 180 dpi. A lower dpi value produces smaller card images when viewed in athenaOne, and images are at a lower resolution. We have determined that a 150 dpi resolution with 15% JPG quality produces a clear image that fits the various athenaOne pages without scrolling; image size depends on your specific screen size area. (Testing was done using a 1024 by 768 pixel display setting.)
- Files should be named "card" and have an extension of "jpg" for file type JPEG (for example, card.jpg).
- The maximum file size for a card image is 300 kB.
If your practice is an athenaEnterprise organization and you have the insurance card scanning feature enabled, you can synchronize the Driver License Expiration Date and Driver License State fields across provider groups in your practice.
Please contact the CSC by selecting Support > Create Case or Call in the Main Menu to enable Driver License Expiration Date and Driver License State field synchronization for your practice.
