Entering Patient Data
If you are not using the worklist option, you start an exam by entering patient data into the
system.
If you want to start an exam without first entering patient data, you can select Use Temporary
ID after you acquire an image.
NOTE
You can clear all patient data from the Patient Data form by clicking Clear. Do not use this
control unless you want to delete all of the patient data you have entered into the form.
1. Touch Patient.
2. Ensure that the previous exam ended by doing one of the following:
• Touch End Exam while the Patient Data form is displayed.
• Click End Exam on the Patient Data form.
3. On the Patient Data form, type the patient information. (Press the Tab key to move the
cursor from field to field.)
4. For Study Type, select the study you will be performing. It is important to select the correct
study type at this time. Selecting a study type after you have entered patient data and
exited the Patient Data form does not update the report with the correct study type.
5. Enter the pertinent study information for the patient.
6. If you have created a custom procedure for this patient, select the custom procedure from
the Procedure menu. (For information about custom procedures, see “Custom Procedures”
on page 152.)
7. When you are finished, click Done.
Selecting in the Worklist
1. Touch Patient.
2. On the Patient Data form, click the Worklist tab.
3. On the worklist, select the exam you want, and click Close.
The system loads the patient information, and you are ready to begin an exam for that
patient.
