Deleting a patient's picture

When necessary, you can delete a patient's picture so that it no longer displays in the following areas of Ascend Academic:

• The Related Patients tab of a patient's record

• The Patient Information ribbon

• The Appointment Information panel

• The document manager

To delete a patient's picture

1. On the Patient Information ribbon, clicktap the patient picture.

   Tip: If the Patient Information ribbon is not visible, clicktap the arrow button below the Patient Search field.

   

   Note: If the correct patient is not already selected, use the Patient Search field to access the patient's record.

   Tip: You can also clicktap the patient picture on the Appointment Information panel of any of the patient's appointments.

   The Patient Picture window displays.

   

2. ClickTap the Change Patient Picture link.

   The Patient Picture Library window displays.

   

   Note: In the lower part of the window, the thumbnail image that is currently assigned as the patient's picture is selected.

3. ClickTap the selected image's X icon to delete the image.

4. When prompted to confirm, clicktap Delete.

   Important: Deleting the patient's picture here will also delete it permanently from the patient's document manager.

   Any place where the patient picture previously displayed now has a placeholder icon instead of a photo. The photo is also deleted from the patient's document manager.
