MIMS automatically receives and registers scheduling and order information from a connected RIS.  When no RIS is connected, users can manually create scheduled orders by clicking on the Worklist's Scheduling tab.  The Scheduling page contains all of the information you can enter for an order, which an imaging modality may be able to download if the modality supports DICOM Modality Worklist Management SOP Class and MIMS is set up to respond to these requests.

Enter the patient and study information into the Scheduling page.  To make a copy of an existing order (or study), click on the "..." button in the Patient Name label and select an existing record.  To copy just the name in to a field, click on the "..." button in that particular name field.  After entering all the necessary information, click on Save.  If you failed to enter any required data, the confirmation page will instruct you to return to the Scheduling page and enter the missing information.

The new scheduled order appears in the worklist.  If the scheduled date and time passes and no images appear, the order is highlighted in yellow on the worklist.

For information on grouping orders to associate to a single imaging procedure, refer to Grouping Orders.

Creating scheduled orders is a privileged function.  If you do not have the Scheduling tab, contact your system administrator to request the necessary rights.
