6.2.2 Select a Patient
A patient can be added to the system or already exist and be selected from a list. There are
two places to search for an existing patient, the worklist which is a list of scheduled
patients from a Modality Worklist Provider and the Local Exams which are the patients
on the computer in the workstation.
6.2.2.1 How to Query the Modality Worklist Provider
1. Select the Worklist tab in the upper left area of the Select a Patient screen.
Note
If you changed the date from the ‘today’ setting, select the
Today’s Worklist tab.
2. Enter the query data.
• If you use the Bar Code Scanner to input the query data, the procedure opens.
• If you use the keyboard to type the query data, select the Query button, then
select the patient from the list to open the procedure.
Note
This query does not search the local Acquisition Workstation
database, Local Exams. An Asterisk is not necessary for this
search.
If your search for one match with a Patient ID or Accession Number has results, the
patient Procedure opens automatically. Selecting a patient adds them to the Local Exams
database.
6.2.2.2 How to Search the Acquisition Workstation Database (Local Exams)
1. Select the Local Exams tab in the upper, left area of the Select a Patient screen.
2. Select the Patient Name or ID tab.
3. Enter the Patient Name or ID in the Search box. Or, enter part of a Patient Name or
part of an ID number and use an asterisk for the missing characters.
4. Select the Search button or press the Enter key.
6.2.2.3 More Information about Searches
• When part of the patient name is entered, the system applies a wildcard character at
the end of the name.
