Viewing Pts Imaging orders from ED Trackboard

If you need to see a patients current orders from the ED trackboard you may find them in the Kardex report. The need for this could occur if the patient has multiple orders in more than one modality. If coordination between modalities needs to take place, knowing which orders have been placed on a patient is valuable.

To view the patients current orders (while viewing the ED Trackboard) follow these steps.

  1. Click on the row of the patient you are interested in
  2. Notice that a report opens up on the lower half of the screen
  3. Change this report to the "Kardex" report
  4. Scroll down to the Radiology orders

Imaging orders placed in the last 48 hours will appear here.

Now you can determine if coordination between modalities needs to take place.
