TISS28 form images

TISS28 Form Scanning produces electronic images of the TISS28 forms. We keep these permanently and dispose of the actual paper forms as described in TISS28 Form Scanning.

Backups of the Forms

The forms are backed up from the scanner PC to X:\TISS28\ExportData\Images

Electronic Images

The scanned images are stored on the following network share:

• \\hsc1msfp0001\med_ccmed\TISS28\ExportData\Images (X)

This share has a sub-folder for each batch that has been processed. Currently there are two types of batch numbers:

• a) e.g. 00002421_old (numeric with txt)
• b) e.g. 00001222 (numeric)
  • Any folders with the suffix: "_old" is pre-Windows7. The Windows 7 upgrade involved upgrading Teleform. The Teleform upgrade caused a reset of the sequence of batch numbers. All code in the TISS28 DB has been updated and is fully operational for this change. All batches going forward are only numeric.

finding images

If you cannot link to scannned tiss image via tiss28.mdb then you will need to find image manually. in TISS28.mdb go to L_TISS_FORM to find the batch number of the D_ID.

Locating Images

There are two methods that can be used to locate an image. Simply by serial number - this is the serial number entered on the form at the hospital. There are duplicate serial numbers and this method will return all potential matches but will show the following information:

• Site
• Unit
• Serial
• Batch No
• First Date
• Image File - with the option to open and view the file (click the button next to this field on the form)

An alternate method is to search based on a combination of: Site + Unit + Serial
