You can selectively disable the Service Date, Effective Date, and Received Date fields for specific Document Type buttons.

Note:

If a date must not be sent to Epic in the context from which Front Office Scanning is launched, disable the date on all Document Type buttons in the configuration file.

If a date is disabled on some Document Type buttons and not on others, then it is possible for a date to be sent to Epic on documents indexed using a Document Type button where the date is disabled. Because Epic accepts only one set of date values per upload, the Front Office Scanning client sends Epic the latest value entered for each date, and the value is stored in Epic for all documents included in the upload.

To disable a date field:

  1. Open the Epic FOS XML configuration file (typically EPICFOSCONFIG.xml).
  2. Add the necessary attributes to the DocType element for the appropriate scan button:

    Date

    Attribute

    Service Date

    epicservicedatekey

    Effective Date

    epiceffectivedatekey

    Received Date

    epicreceiveddatekey
  3. Set the attribute value to disable. In the following example, only the Effective Date field is disabled: 
    <DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\Icons\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Driver's License" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" epiceffectivedatekey="disable" ></DocType>

    In the following example, all three date fields are disabled:

    <DocType name="PID Patient ID" bitmap="C:\FOS\Icons\drvLicButton.jpg" required="false" displayname="Driver's License" displayscanner="Scan ID" scanner="FUJITSU fi-7260" epicservicedatekey="disable" epiceffectivedatekey="disable" epicreceiveddatekey="disable" ></DocType>
  4. Repeat for each scan button as needed.
  5. Save the Epic FOS XML configuration file.
