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.

Work List Colors and Font Size

There have been some tweaks to the Tech Work List and Schedule Orders Reports. Small font size was causing some people to have difficulty reading the information. Also, the row colors have been tweaked in attempt to make things as easy to read and navigate as possible.

Hope this helps!

Time Outs at Begin Exam

There were some instances of Time Out forms not displaying for certain procedures. Hopefully that issue is corrected. If you feel as if an exam that should have a Time Out attached is missing it, document it and we can make the change as needed.

Thanks.
