- Displaying study information: Concepts
For each study linked to the task, a Study tab (this tab has the name of a procedure) is displayed in the Text area. This tab combines order and study information. This information is repeated for each study linked to the same order.
- Studies and security
Your security roles determine what patient health information you see, which actions you are allowed to perform, and what configuration you can do. Your job titles, specialties, or task assignment groups have no influence on this.
- Patient and study confidentiality
All patient data, or specific studies for a patient, can be marked confidential.
- Study verification statuses
A study can have one of the following verification statuses: Verified, Failed verification, and No verification.
- Adding studies for comparison
You can add studies for comparison with the active study.
- Showing additional comparison studies automatically
You can configure comparison studies obtained at other hospitals or at different sites to be preselected and shown automatically for the active study.
- Active and comparison studies: Reference
Various icons can appear in the Active and Comparison studies list.
- What happens if you compare images: Monitor settings
When you compare the images of different studies, the images are displayed on the available monitors.
- Navigating through studies and tasks
After opening a study or task list or starting a task list, you can view studies in the Text and Image areas. These areas have the list control that allows you to select specific items from the list.
- Canceling procedures in orders
You can cancel procedures from the Text area.
- Importing external studies
You can import external studies into Agfa HealthCare Enterprise Imaging from locations such as PACS archives, network drives, and DICOM devices or from an Enterprise search across multiple external systems.
- Adding, modifying, and removing documents
You can add documents such as appointment letters, brochures, illustrations, and questionnaires to a study from a scanner, file, or catalog. You can then print them, get them filled in by patients, or share them with patients as needed, and upload new versions of these documents.
- Adding or modifying billing codes and modifiers
You can add or modify billing codes and modifiers in the Billing field of the Text area.
- Importing images
You can add images from a local or external source by importing them to the currently selected study or to a new order.
- Collection lists: Concepts
A collection list is a container where you can add shortcuts to studies for your personal reference, such as to group studies for further research.
- Adding studies to a collection list
Add studies to a collection list to make a list of studies for follow up. You can also remove and clear all items from a collection list.
- Marking studies as baseline studies
Mark a study as a baseline study when it is the first study where a certain pathology, lesion, or syndrome was seen. By comparing the most recent study with the baseline study, you can determine disease evolution, treatment response, and overall evolution in time.
- Associating diagnostic codes with studies
You can associate one or more diagnostic codes with the study or studies linked to a diagnostic report to communicate diagnostic findings in a structured way.
- Adding and modifying products
The products that will be used for a procedure are specified for each step in the Procedure plan. You can register and add products.
