The Team Chart Concept fully supports and encourages the use of digital cameras.  Photographs can be taken of the Patient and stored in the Patient's Timeline.  These photographs can then appear on Prescriptions printed by the Team Chart Concept.  This may be an especially useful feature if you prescribe controlled substances.

Photographs can also be taken of the patient's medical condition.  Skin conditions, insect bites, wounds, evidence of mistreatment, etc. can be documented in the Patient's Timeline via digital cameras.  You can also scan-in pictures taken from any type of camera, though this may be a more cumbersome approach as it requires the use of a scanner.

The quality of a digital camera that you wish to use is up to you and the needs of your practice.  The only consideration is the amount of hard-drive space required for storage of a large number of digital pictures.  Consultation with your friendly neighborhood hardware vendor should help you to make a good decision.

You can also store video images in the Team Chart Concept.  This can be quite useful for some providers, but has the potential to dramatically eat up disk storage.  If you storage of pictures and video is great, you may consider a second server dedicated just to the storage of such files.  Again, check with your hardware vendor for guidelines on purchasing and using digital cameras and video devices.
