Part 7: Using DigitalNow and the R2 Patient ID System
The system displays the patient information entry page:
Note: The query buttons appear on this screen only if they were configured to appear
by the Hologic service engineer when the system was installed. The service engineer can
set any of the three
query fields to be the default field when the screen appears.
3
Enter the patient information, Study Date, and R2 barcode number. Required fields
are marked with an asterisk (*).
•
Enter the patient information either by typing it in, or by querying a PACS/
workstation (as described under ‘
7.4. Querying an External Database ’ on page 90 ).
•
Enter the correct Study Date. (The Study Date defaults to the current date.)
•
Enter the R2 barcode number into the ‘Accession Number’ field by either scanning
the barcode on the separator sheet, or typing it in.
Note: Some archives generate a Study Instance UID (unique ID) that is used to
identify a given study. If you query to retrieve patient information and then enter new
information (or change the information), then the R2 system generates a new Study
Instance UID that it will send to the PACS with the study results.
