For medical photos, simply click on the thumbnail; for either medical or personal photos, right-click on the thumbnail and select View Full Size from the menu that appears. The enlarged photo will appear in a new tab or window, depending upon your browser settings.
Delete Uploaded Photo
Thumbnails may be deleted from the photo manager by right-clicking on the thumbnail of the photo to be deleted and selecting Delete from the menu that appears. Deleting a thumbnail:
- Causes the thumbnail to disappear,
- Disassociates a deleted medical photo from any encounter note to which it has been assigned, and
- Makes a deleted personal photo unavailable for use as a profile picture. If the current profile picture is deleted and there are other personal photos available, the profile picture will default to the most recently uploaded personal photo. If there are not other personal photos for that patient, the profile will display a white box with a generic profile image.
