description

This file contains, for each imaging type entry, parameters that the module uses during various stages of exam and report processing and inquiring. The parameter switches allow the 'customizing' of the module for each type of imaging. WARNING: ENTRIES SHOULD NOT BE DELETED FROM THIS FILE. Data Storage ------------ The data for the 'IMAGING TYPE' file is stored in the ^RA(79.2, 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 IMAGE PARAMETERS Used to specify timeout seconds and whether the hardware system the module is running on is under fail-soft mode; RA FAILSOFT RA ON-LINE CRITERIA Used to indicate how long certain data should remain on file before it can be purged; RA PURGE If any modifications to these input templates are needed for local purposes, then great care should be taken not to degrade any branching logic in the template. Print Templates --------------- The following is a list of print templates used by the package: Name Description; Option(s) ---- ---------------------- RA ACTIVITY LOG Prints a list of the activity log entries for the imaging type;

Fields

#	Name	Location	Type	Details	Index	Description
.01	type of imaging(+)	0;1	FREE TEXT		B	This field contains the name of this type of imaging. DO NOT ADD, EDIT OR DELETE imaging type names; this will cause problems between the Radiology/Nuclear Med and Order Entry interface.
.11	activity log cut-off	.1;1	NUMERIC			This field contains the imaging type parameter that tells the purge routine of the module how many days to keep the various activity logs on-line. The amount of days is a whole number between 90 and 99999 and is determined at each site by the package coordinator and the computer site manager.
.12	report cut-off	.1;2	NUMERIC			This field contains the imaging type parameter that tells the purge routine of the module how many days to keep the reports on-line. The report 'impression' will always stay on-line even after the reports are purged. The amount of days is a whole number between 90 and 99999 and is determined at each site by the package coordinator and the computer site manager.
.13	clinical history cut-off	.1;3	NUMERIC			This field contains the imaging type parameter that tells the purge routine of the module how many days to keep the clinical history of the visit on-line. The amount of days is a whole number between 90 and 99999 and is determined by the package coordinator and the computer site manager.
.14	tracking time cut-off	.1;4	NUMERIC			This field applies to sites that are using the tracking function of the system to record when the exam status changes from one status to another. It contains the imaging type parameter that tells the purge routine of the module how many days to keep the 'tracking time' information on-line. The amount of days is a whole number between 90 and 99999 and is determined at each site by the package coordinator and the computer site manager.
.16	order data cut-off	.1;6	NUMERIC			This field contains the imaging type parameter that tells the purge routine of the module how many days to keep the orders on-line. The amount of days is a whole number between 30 and 99999 and is determined by the package coordinator and the computer site manager.
3	abbreviation(+)	0;3	FREE TEXT		C	This is the abbreviation associated with this type of imaging. It is between 1 and 4 characters in length and is used as a cross reference and for quick look ups. DO NOT CHANGE ABBREVIATIONS; changing abbreviations will cause problems between the Order Entry and Radiology/Nuc Med interface.
4	operating conditions(+)	0;4	SET OF CODES	N:NORMAL E:EMERGENCY(NORMAL COMPUTER DOWN)	AC	This field contains the hardware conditions parameter that tells the system the type of operating conditions that are in effect. The available conditions are: 'N' for normal and 'E' for emergency. Under NORMAL conditions, the system uses the parameters set up in the 'Imaging Locations' file to determine which input and printer devices to use. Under EMERGENCY conditions, the system ignores all the location parameters set up and the user is prompted for this information.
5	radiopharmaceuticals used?	0;5	BOOLEAN	Y:YES N:NO		This field is used to determine if radiopharmaceuticals will be used for this imaging type. If so, then the nuclear medicine logic paths of this software will be triggered at all appropriate points.
25	next case number	CN;1	NUMERIC			This field is used to contain the next available case number for this type of imaging. Case numbers are generated by the system in sequential order and are available for reuse the following week after the exam status becomes complete. Case numbers are recycled on Sunday at 12:01 AM.
26	case number turnover date	CN;2	DATE-TIME			This field contains the date the case numbers are scheduled to be recycled. This date will always be the next Sunday's date.
50	introduction text	1;0	WORD-PROCESSING			This field provides a quick installation guide to be displayed when the rad/nuc med system is initialized or reinitialized. It describes aspects of the module to the site manager and how to proceed.
90	pfss dept. code(+)	0;6	FREE TEXT			The 3 character numeric code represents the Department Code used by the PFSS project.
100	activity log	L;0	MULTIPLE	79.23		This multiple field contains a log of actions that have been taken on this imaging record.
200	work rvu (wrvu) scaling factor	CY;0	MULTIPLE	79.22		Identifies the 'Society of Chairmen in Academic Radiology Departments' (SCARD) scaling factor for a specific imaging type by calendar year.
