Entering Exam Data
Introduction
This section tells you how to enter patient data manually. If you are searching
for a patient that has already been submitted in the RIS, see
“Entering Patient
Information” in this chapter to query for the patient.
You can enter Patient and Exam Information at the ROP using the touch
screen or at the CR 500 System using drop-down menus accessed by the
mouse and the keyboard. Enter the Patient and Exam Information required
for a Patient Exam Cassette (PEC) Record using the Patient Input screen. The
arrow in each field means there is a drop-down menu of choices for that
field. Click the arrow and select the correct choice from the list.
You must complete the yellow mandatory fields to validate a PEC Record. Your
Key Operator configures the fields required for your system. Complete the
remaining optional information if it is available.
There are three types of patient entries:
• New Patient— when the patient information has never been entered in
the CR System or the HIS/RIS system.
• Trauma— quick data entry for emergency conditions.
• Existing Patient— when information for the patient already exists in the
CR System or the HIS/RIS system.
