Search:

It is likely that the Patient’s referring Doctor has send a copy of his Rad Order Results to the Clinic. Although the Clinic had not ordered the Rad Order, the results could form an important part of the Patient’s medical history. Hence this also needs to be stored as a part of Prognocis. Click on this option to pop up a Search List for selecting existing External Rads (Non Reviewed) or User may click on Add New button to enter a new External Rad. Order No is generated based on Prefix and Length in property, Rad Params > rad.ext_orderno.prefix and Rad Params > rad.ext_orderno.length respectively, as for Rad Order. Typically user would use a different prefix to differentiate the external Rad from the Clinic’s Rad Orders. Results Received: Date as seen on the Result page. Patient: Use the Search Button to select a Patient. Note only those Patients who have at least one encounter are included in the list. (This is because a Rad Order has to be associated with an encounter). The Rad Order is associated with the Last Encounter of the selected Patient. Doctor: Is the Primary Doctor of selected Patient. Slideshow button: If there were one or more radiology images (jpeg, jpg, gif, bmp only) attached for one or more tests, clicking on this button opens a pop up to dispay a slide show for all those tests. RESULTS TAB Click on the Button to select Tests Orders . The Result Tab now shows Tests grouped by Category. All other fields are identical to that explained in Rad Results. Type, Location, Notes: These three columns will be displayed only if the results are imported from HL7. Note that for Attach Tab, Attach Button is disabled, till the External Rad Order is saved for the first time. Save: Results can be Approved only if a) Remarks Tab has some entry b) Attach Tab has an attachment c) Results are entered for tests. On saving External Rad Order Results, if the Login Person is a Doctor, or has Approve rights, the status is set to Complete.
