Create order


 

eRAD PACS automatically receives and registers scheduling and order information from a connected RIS. When the eRAD Scheduler is not licensed and no other RIS is connected, manually create scheduled orders by clicking on the Scheduling tab. The information is available for download to an imaging device if the modality supports DICOM Modality Worklist Management SOP Class and eRAD PACS is set up to respond to these requests.

 

Note: When eRAD Scheduler is enabled, the Worklist tab does not contain a Scheduling tab, and the Scheduling page is unavailable. See the eRAD Scheduler help files for available scheduling features.

 

Enter the patient and study information into the Scheduling page. To make a copy of an existing order (or study), click on the More Information button, , in the patient name Field column and select an existing record. To copy just the name in to a field, click on the More Information button in the patient name Edit column.  After entering all the necessary information, click Save. If you failed to enter any required data, the confirmation page instructs you to return to the Scheduling page and enter the missing information.

 

The new 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 need access to the Scheduling tab, contact your system administrator to request the necessary rights.
