2.2.7 Performed Procedure Step (PPS)
Performed Procedure Step (PPS) communicates to PACS and HIS/RIS after a procedure is
complete. It improves the transfer of data to PACS by providing a complete message when all
data has been transferred.
If the PPS column is displayed, the PPS icon
appears when PPS is completed for an exam.
2.2.7.1 PPS Column
You can set your exam list to include the PPS state of each exam by selecting
PPS flag
from
the exam list column chooser dropdown. There are three states of exam status:
•
COMP ends the exam and PPS. You can annotate an image or add a series, such as a
screen save, but you should not edit the patient information once it is in this state. If you edit
the exam (through Edit Patient Data), the exam is no longer recognized by the HIS/RIS
system as the exam it requested. This status annotates the exam as COMP.
•
DISC notifies the HIS/RIS that you are aborting the PPS. Use this only if the images you
acquired were unacceptable or were not for the correct patient. This status annotates the
exam as DISC.
•
DEFER does not end PPS. You can still post-process and edit the patient information.
However, once it is in this state, if you edit the exam (through Edit Patient Data), the exam is
no longer recognized by the HIS/RIS system as the exam it requested.
2.2.7.2 Send PPS for an exam
Selecting PPS from the browser menu bar displays a window and allows you to Complete or
Discontinue the PPS on the patient. This status annotates the exam as INPR.
2.3 Series list
The Series List shows the series and image information for exams in the database. It appears
on the right side of the right monitor. When you select an exam in the Exam List, the Series List
updates to show the Final Dose Report and all series associated with the exam.
If you select a series that contains images from the Series List, the images are previewed in the
viewport directly below the Series List.
