description
This file contains the statuses an imaging exam may be in, as it is processed. The fields in this file generally fall into three basic categories: o fields that indicate what data has to be entered for an exam in order for the exam to be placed in the status. o when using the 'Exam Status Tracking' system, which prompts should be asked of the user when trying to move an exam into the status. o fields that indicate to the various workload report routines whether an exam in a particular exam status should be used in the compilation of the report When the system is initialized, the following statuses and their 'order' in the exam process are loaded into this file: Order Status ----- ------ 1 WAITING FOR EXAM 2 CALLED FOR EXAM 3 EXAMINED 4 TRANSCRIBED 9 COMPLETE 0 CANCELLED The site does not have to use this configuration. The only requirements of the system are the following: o there must be a status with an order of '1'; this is the status that the module will place an exam in upon registration. o there must be a status with an order of '9'; when an exam reaches this status then the module considers the exam complete and the exam can no longer be called up by case number; also the case number can then be reused. o there must be a status with an order of '0' and it must be called 'CANCELLED'. Data Storage ------------ The data for the EXAMINATION STATUS' file is stored in the ^RA(72, global. At the present time this file is very static after day-one initialization is complete. However, it still should be journaled. It should also be translated if the operating system supports this function. Input Templates --------------- The following is a list of input templates used by the package and the entry in the OPTIONS file (#19) that uses the template: Compiled Name Routine Description; Option(s) ------ ------- ---------------------- RA STATUS ENTRY Used to enter/edit entries in this file; RA EXAMSTATUS This input template should not be modified.

1generate exam alert?ALERT;1BOOLEANy:YES
n:NO
This field contains a YES if the exam status should generate an alert to the requesting physician that the patient has been examined.
2default next status0;2POINTER72During the Exam Status Tracking function, if an exam is in the status you are currently editing, the system will present the 'default next status' you enter here as the status to be reached next. The status tracking function will use the default next status to determine which prompts to ask. If the parameters of the default next status are met, the exam will be placed in that status. Only active statuses with an order number can be entered.
3order0;3NUMERICThis field contains the logical order that this exam status falls into. The order of the stages is set up by each site and must be a number between 1 and 8. If this order field is left blank, then the 'Exam Status Tracking' function will not use this exam status. Exam status 'CANCELLED' is reserved and has an order of '0'. Exam status 'COMPLETE' is reserved and has an order of '9'. The status that has the order of '1' should represent the first status an exam attains as soon as it is registered (usually 'WAITING FOR EXAM').

5appear on status tracking?0;5BOOLEANY:YES
N:NO
If the value of this field is 'YES', then the 'status tracking' function will display this status in it's appropriate order. Otherwise, this status will not appear. An example of when this field would be set to 'NO' is for a status called 'TRANSCRIBED'. Many times after a report is transcribed it may not be verified for a day or two and the number of 'TRANSCRIBED' exams may get very large. If 'TRANSCRIBED' was displayed in the status tracking function, then the system performance would suffer because all these exams would have to be processed and displayed. Status Tracking of 'COMPLETE' exams is not allowed. Historical cases should not appear on status tracking.
6allow cancelling?0;6BOOLEANy:YES
n:NO
While an exam is in the current status, should the user be allowed to cancel an exam ? Answer with 'YES', to allow cancelling and 'NO', to disallow cancelling. If no entry is made in this field for the current status, then the user will NOT be allowed to cancel the exam.
