Chapter 9: Worklist
The Worklist is the starting point for patient set up and selecting procedures for acquisition. All exams
begin from this screen.
The Worklist information and functions are based on DICOM standards.
This chapter explains the procedures for entering data into the system and setting up a patient.
Overview
The Worklist (
) shows scheduled, completed, discontinued, and suspended procedures.
The majority of the Worklist is the Patient List. The Patient List is a large table made of columns and rows.
Each row in the list is a procedure, or exam, to be performed. A patient may have multiple procedures
(rows) on the Worklist.
Procedures listed can be classified under two categories:
Locally entered procedures: This category refers to procedures entered directly on the system work-
station by manually entering the information. Locally entered procedures are only available to the
unit or workstation that they were entered on. They do not update automatically and no other units
or workstations can access them.
Hospital Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS) Procedures: This category
refers to procedures that the Worklist can automatically update from the central HIS/RIS database.
Other units or workstations can be configured to access these procedures.
