Creating a QC taskTopic number: 1425414622617

Create a QC task to assign a quality control task for the selected study or studies to yourself or to another person.

For unverified studies, QC tasks are created automatically. If you detect a problem in a study, such as it containing images for two separate patients, you can create a QC task. QC task creation is supported for both verified and unverified studies.

You can create a QC task for a study with a verified report. In this case, after the quality control task is performed, the report author automatically receives a notice to recheck the report.

Important!

Starting QC tasks for studies linked to multi-procedure reports is possible only for studies with a non-validated report, and only while performing a reading task in the Text area.

For studies linked to validated multi-procedure reports, you must undo sign-off of the report before you can start a QC task.

To create a QC task
  1. Do one of the following:
    • In the List area, right-click the study or studies to perform quality control on and select QC task > Create QC task.
    • Click Search and find studies to perform QC tasks on.

      Right-click the study and select QC task > Create QC task.

    • From the List area, start any task or open a study. From the Text area task toolbar, select More > QC task > Create QC task.

Note:

If you created QC tasks for multiple studies sharing a report, indicate which study retains the report.

If you create a QC task for a study that is linked to a multi-procedure acquisition task, the study is automatically unlinked from this task and no longer associated with the images from the main study. If a QC task is created for the main study in a multi-procedure acquisition task, all other studies are automatically unlinked from this multi-procedure acquisition task.

The QC task is created. It is added to the task list of your assignee.
