Import only 'active' patient images into PACS
by Joanne
We only import outside CD's if the patient is active in our RIS. We created an outside film "exam" study in our RIS, it has a zero dollar amount attached to it. Our workflow is the clerks "order" the outside study on the active patient in our RIS which sends an HL7 message to PACS creating a "scheduled" study. The clerks, import the images to PACS then merge the "scheduled" study to the imported images. This process has worked great and our Radiologist know that the patient must be active in our RIS before any importing will be done. Click here to read or post comments.
