It can be useful to create a study in the Studycast system that does not contain images but does have attachments, such as EKG or Holter information. To create a non-image study with attachments, start from the Studies page.
- In the bottom left corner of the Studies page, click the New Study button.
- In the Create New Study window, enter the required information, including study type, assigned physicians, and patient information.
- To enter information, click the text you want to edit or the dots for an empty field (…).
- If the patient is already in the Studycast system, click the dots (…) next to Lookup Patient. If the patient is not in the Studycast system, click the Create Patient button to add the patient.
- Click the Attach file button.
- Then locate and select the file you want to attach.
- Click the Create button to create the new study with the file attached.
- To enter a description for the attachment, click the dots (…) and enter text.
- To make the attachment private, click No in the Private column and select Yes from the drop-down options.
If you want to save your selections as default values, click the Save default values button. If you manually create a lot of studies, saving default values, such as study type, division, and reading group, can save you time. These values automatically populate the Create New Study window when you click New Study.
Note: By default, only admins and sonographers/technologists have permission to create new studies manually. If you need for this permission to be added to your account, contact your admin.
See Studycast Help for more information on manually creating a study.
