When PracticeBuilder receives images from a modality, the user opens the Viewer to look at the electronic images and create a report.  When no electronic images exist, the Viewer cannot be used to create the report.  For this situation, study orders that transition into the Completed state have access to the Report page so a user can either dictate or type a report using the browser.

The study must appear on the worklist as a RIS or manually created order.  To get to the Report page, the order status must be set to Completed by the RIS or manually by clicking on the worklist's Edit icon and changing the study Status to Completed.  When completed, click on the worklist entry's Status value to get to the Report page.  Depending on your account privileges, the Report page may have a Dictate and and Edit button.

Select the Dictate button to pop up a dictation window similar to the one available in the Viewer.  Using this window and your microphone, dictate your report, set the study state to Dictated and send the report. 

Select the Edit button to get to the Report Edit page, from which you can type a report and set the study state.  Click on Save to save the report text.
