Worklist Queries
There are two available types of Worklist queries: auto queries and manual queries.
Auto queries run periodically when the ultrasound system is on, and return a list of patient
info sets that match the criteria set in the Query window as a broad query (see Configuring
Broad Queries on page 230.) For example, an auto query can be set up to return a list of
ultrasound exams that are scheduled on the current date. The facility’s scheduling
administrator enters an ultrasound exam for a patient into DICOM, and when the
scheduled date arrives, the Worklist auto query collects the patient info and adds it to the
worklist.
Manual queries can take two forms: broad queries, and patient-based queries.
Broad queries search all records on the DICOM server, using the parameters chosen in the
Options window. Broad queries are preset groups of parameters. They can be used as they
are, or modified with different parameters, or applied to patient-based queries. See
Configuring Broad Queries on page 230, and Making a Broad Query on page 232.
Patient-based queries search the records using a patient name, access number, date of
birth, or other patient-specific parameter. They can be further limited to the parameters in
a broad query. See Making a Patient-Specific Query on page 233.
