Section 2.0 - Networkflow Audit
2.7
Data Flow Analysis
Now that we have outlined the way your facility works and the devices you work with, we would
like to define how the images flow through your network.
The system is an acquisition-only device. Because of that fact you will need to
move acquired images off the system and into your work/data flow. Please use the chart below to
describe your data flow. As an example, if your facility reviewed images as the first step after
acquisition, the review box would be checked in the first column of the Task row (shaded) and the
review workstation would be checked in the first column of the Device row. You should use each
of the functions once.
Printing:
It is important to us to understand the path your images follow before they are printed.
We are now looking to answer the question of what road an image most typically travels on its way
to be printed regardless if that is the first step in your process or not. Please try to find in the list
below the path that best describes the path the image takes from acquisition to printing.
