Is anyone able to save selected documents from the patient chart to a CD or flash drive? I was told that the best option is to save to a PDF writer. I'm not aware of how to do either. Anyone have experience with this?

From a patient's chart, click on Actions > Generate Chart Summary. For Export Destination, browse to the preferred drive (CD or flash). I don't believe you can export to a PDF file because the file is meant to be re-imported into another facility's Centricity system.

Thanks for the instructions! However I was looking to see if you could select specific documents and save them to disk rather than just the chart summary. But I appreciate the information.

OK…select the documents you want, click Actions > Print…, select your PDF utility under Printer, and click Print. This should ask for the drive to store the .PDF file onto.

Word to the wise, remember to password protect the files once they are on the drive. 🙂

We've used PDFCreator, which you can automate to do somethings, and drop in a given directory. Handy tool

When following this workflow each document is saved to a separate PDF. is there a way for the chart documents to be saved into 1 pdf?

With PDFCreator you can use the Wait – Collect option to have multiple pages / documents printed into one PDF file.
