Printing Worklists (on one page)

There is some concern that when a worklist is printed, all the columns are not fitting on one page. This is easily fixed. After clicking PRINT, you have several options to taylor your print job.

In the orientation section click "Landscape" and "Fit width to page". Now your report will print in landscape fashion and will include all of the columns on your list.

Re-Ending Exams

If you forgot to enter correct begin/end times, failed to enter supporting staff or need to add a charge to an exam it is possible to re-end it.

How do I find a list of exams that were ended today you might ask? Well, we put together a new Tech Work List that will display only those exams which were ended today. The new list is called "END EXAM Report". Of course if you need to look at a list from yesterday or a previous day, simply go into the "setting" and change the Date range to reflect your search. Changing this field will only apply to your current search. The next time you log in, it will be defaulted into todays date.

Once on the list, simply highlight your patient and click "end exam".

Keep in mind that you can not and should not change orders after ending an exam.

Printing Labels from the TWL :(

Printing labels from the Tech Worklist is not current functionality. If it was, you'd know all about it and would be doing it. The current flow to get extra labels is "cumbersome" to put it nicely. It would be possible to print more labels as a default at "check in". If everyone is interested in that, it is a change we could investigate.

It is an issue that is on EPIC's radar and a less "clicktacular" workflow is in the works.

Thanks
