Unassign a Scan

Once a scan is placed into a chart (as a scan or a note (scan)), you may find that you did not file it into the correct patient’s chart. You have the ability to unassign that scan which can then later be assigned to another patient. Use the following steps to unassign a scan.

1. Open the patient's chart who has the scan incorrectly filed.
    

2. Click the Organizer button from the toolbar, or click the Note tab on the right side of the patient chart, and then click Organizer.
   
   
    

3. In the Organizer, right-click the Scan or Note (Scan) you want to unassign, and then click Unassign Scan(s) (for Scans where the Create Notes for Scans preference is turned off) or Unassign Note(s) (for Scans where the Create Notes for Scans preference is turned on).
   
   NOTE: If the Create Notes for Scans preference is turned on when assigning a scan to a patient, and that Note (Scan) contains any data configured in that note that is stored in the database (Diagnosis, Medications, Family History Notes, Miscellaneous Note, Patient History Notes, Patient Annotation Notes, Surgical History Notes, etc.), then the Unassign Note(s) option will not appear and you will not be able to unassign the Note (Scan) until that information is removed from the Note (Scan).
   
   
   
   
    

4. In the warning dialog, click the Yes button.
   
   
   
   
   The scanned file or scanned note is now moved to the Unassigned Files folder. A user can now assign this scan to another patient by accessing the Unassigned Files in the Scan Management dialog.
