The delimiter fields only supports a single character. After selecting the format, click the Format button to save changes.

 

Names can appear in two forms. The list format is a name on a list, such as the patient name or physician on the worklist. The common format is when the name appears in normal text. eRAD PACS provides a tool for formatting common names and list names. On the settings page, go to the name format section. For both types, select the name component from the pull down list.
