Automatic Order Generation (AOG)
An option that automates the creation of HL7 orders directly from DICOM data for customers who:
- Do not use PACS/RIS integration or Intelerad’s Order Entry Tool.
- Need to work with studies that have not been ordered from their RIS such as in teleradiology environments.
AOG also enables “RIS-less” customers to take full advantage of some of Intelerad’s workflow modules, such as Results Reporting, Reporting Worklist, and Transcription Tool.
Automatic Study Validation
Occurs when IntelePACS processes a new patient study. IntelePACS automatically compares the study data to the HL7 order information from the RIS/HIS.
If the data matches what is in the RIS/HIS, the study passes validation and is automatically routed to destinations previously defined by routing rules within IntelePACS. If there is a mismatch of data, automatic validation fails and the study is held in queue for Manual Study Validation.
DICOM Prefetching
The process of retrieving prior relevant studies from the IntelePACS archive for display alongside the current study.
Once the prior studies are retrieved, they can be automatically routed to one or more devices within your IntelePACS network, such as diagnostic workstations or technologist review stations. Prior studies are most often used for comparison purposes during diagnostic readings, but they are also useful when technologists wish to review prior studies before conducting an imaging exam.
Grouped Procedures
Is the process of associating (grouping) several procedures to one order.
For example, for one order, a patient’s entire body is scanned at once; however, in this order there may be several procedures (head, neck, and abdomen).
Since these different body parts may need to be reviewed by three different specialized radiologists, the desired result would be three reports linked to one order. Grouped procedures enable this linkage to occur. Manual Study Validation
The process of manually validating a study that has not passed Automatic Study Validation. The study is placed in a queue on the modality server and must be manually validated with the InteleBrowser Manual Study Validation tool. Manual Study Validation is only possible if your IntelePACS has been integrated with a RIS or HIS.
Study validation (automatic or manual) prevents erroneous data from being saved on IntelePACS and ensures better data quality.
Order Entry Tool (OET)
An InteleBrowser tool that enables manual creation of HL7 orders and allows for the modification of order data such as incorrect patient demographics. Procedure
A collection of one or more series of medical images, presentation states, Structured Reporting documents, and overlays that are logically related for the purpose of diagnosing a patient. A procedure may include composite instances that are created by a single modality, multiple modalities, or by multiple devices of the same modality. Each procedure is usually associated with one patient at one visit.
Report
The official physician-assessment of one or more procedures. The radiology report is the primary means of communication between the radiologist and the referring physician.
RIS-triggered Prefetching
The process where IntelePACS prefetches prior studies based on upcoming scheduled orders usually from a RIS. RIS-triggered prefetching automatically retrieves prior studies and can route them to predefined destinations (for viewing) at a set time before the start of a scheduled radiology procedure.
