Imaging Workflow - Search Images Tab

Top  Previous  Next

The contents of the Search results is a grid which has a series of columns and horizontal and vertical scroll bars that are used to move around the grid to see all the data for each image.  There are ways to modify how the list of images is displayed which include:

 

Clicking at the top of any of the columns sorts the images in that order so that you can list them by Patient Number, alphabetically by name, or group by Acct Class, sort by patient birthday, phone #, Service Date, Amount Billed, etc.
Fields may be rearranged by dragging columns to the left or right.  The system will retain the new column locations for each user.

 

Most of the columns found on the Station tab are also displayed in the Search tab, with the exception of Link Type. Link Type will display the MedSuite "object" that the image has been Indexed to, e.g. Visit, Claim or Company. Open Images will display in a separate window that will give the user the option to Print, view Annotations or Move the image to a Station among other things.

Buttons

 

Several buttons are displayed across the bottom of the screen and are used as follows:

 

View Image

Displays the highlighted image in the Image tab.  An image can also be displayed by double-clicking on the image.

 

Jump

The Jump button "jumps" to the data input / display screen associated with the image. If the image is a Hospital Face Sheet, then the Jump button will jump to Patient Demographics.  If the image is a Charge Ticket, then the Jump button will jump to Visit Entry.

 

If the image was not indexed to a data entity such as a patient, visit, provider, etc. or the image was scanned to a Folder, then "jump" simply displays the image.

Delete/UnDelete

Based on the current state of the image, the user can either Delete or UnDelete the image.
