Assign Care Type
When care types are enabled, they offer users a way to categorize studies so they can be prioritized appropriately. When a care type is assigned to a study, that study will be highlighted on the Studies page after the period of time set for that care type. The counter starts as soon as the study is uploaded.
Enabling Care Types
As an admin, you can create and define care types to meet physicians’ and technologists’ needs. For example, you might create a care type called STAT that highlights studies after 30 minutes to indicate that they should be read first.
To enable and define care types,
- Click Admin on any page. Client Info is selected by default.
- Below the client information, click the Edit button.
- Select the Care Types tab.
- Make sure the Display care type column on Studies page box is checked.
- Enter a name, description, and alert time in hours. The highlight color will be red by default, but you can choose to select a different highlight color if desired.
- Click either Save or Save & Close.
Once they are enabled and defined, users can assign care types to studies on the Studies page.
Assigning Care Types
When a care type is assigned to a study, that study will be highlighted on the Studies page after the period of time set for that care type. The counter starts as soon as the study is uploaded. For example, you might want a care type called STAT that highlights studies after 30 minutes to indicate that they should be read first.
Once care types have been enabled, you will need to customize the Studies page grid to add the Care Types column. For instructions on how to do that, see Customize the Grid.
To assign a care type to a study,
- On the Studies page, click the study ID to open the Study Properties window.
- Click the dots (…) next to Care Type and select from the drop-down list.
If the study is not read or finalized in the time defined for that care type, the study will be highlighted on the Studies page.
