I would like to reopen the discussion of cameras and taking patient photos at registration. We currently have Logitech Quickcam Orbit cameras at all our registration spots in our clinics. These cameras worked great with our old EMR system but since we went live on CPS last year (6/24/14) we have found that capturing these pictures are painfully slow or do not work at all. We have issues of the wrong image or a screen shot of what was on a person clip board all of a sudden showing up for the patient photo.

We use Logitech Quickcam's but use another program to take JPG's and then just import those JPG's into the chart. But thats only because we have always done it that way (Over 10 years) So I'm also interested in what works well out of the box.

We use Logitech cameras in CPS12 and have experienced similar problems with the clipboard attaching the wrong photo to the registration as well. Sometimes it seems that staff take the picture but it never really attaches, so when they close the window it picks the last picture (previous patient) and attaches that.

We use Logitech C170. They work just fine. We don't give admin rights to users here so we have them take the picture outside of CPS then import the jpg. Instead of using the Logitech software to capture we just started using Mycam ( http://www.e2esoft.cn/mycam/) instead. That allows us to use any cameras for the capture and not have to wrry about it being Logitech, Creative, or whatever. It helps with user taining and consistency
