When the [EMERGENCY EXAM] button is pressed, the system assigns a unique tracking number as the
Patient Name. The tracking number is the word “NEW” followed by a date and time stamp of the second
the Emergency Exam button was pressed. For example: NEW070422140345. In this example, the number
sequence means that the exam was initiated in year 07, month 04, day 22, hour 14, minute 03, and
second 45.
The tracking number is used as the Patient Name on image annotation and as the Patient ID.
NOTE: When the patient information becomes available, images can be copied into the appropriate
Worklist selection. The selection can be populated to the Worklist either by HIS/RIS or manual entry.

Suspend
Suspend is for situations when you must leave the exam but intend to resume it at a later time.
Suspending an exam does not initiate auto send or auto print functions (if enabled). Images acquired
from a suspended exam do not appear on the Image Management screen. Any acquired images are
stored in a temporary database until they are committed to the permanent storage database upon
closure of the exam.
