  The Findings Statuses are designed to be a two piece filter, including a choice for whether the entries have been acknowledged or not and whether there was an agreement or disagreement, or if a Radiologist response is still needed. Finding statuses are as follows:

  • Acknowledged = Yes: Exams with an ED acknowledgment stored, regardless of Agree or Disagree. These are closed entries.
  • Acknowledged = No: Exams needing an acknowledgment stored. These entries require action by an ED user.
  • Open - Needs Response: Exams needing a Radiologist response for a stored ED Finding. These entries require action by a Radiologist.
  • Agree: Exams where a Radiologist response was an "Agree" value
  • Disagree: Rxams where a Radiologist response was a "Disagree" value

  For example, to display all entries where the Radiologist response was a disagree and the entry needs an acknowledgment from the emergency department staff, set the filter to:

  • Acknowledged = No
  • Select only the Disagree option

After Filter options have been selected, use one of the following:

• Apply: Updates the worklist to apply the current filter selections.
• Clear Filters: Resets all filter options to "All".
• Save Filters: Saves the current filter settings to the user's login. The saved filter settings become the user's default settings for the worklist. Whether the user navigates to a different page within the system or logs out, the next time the user accesses the worklist the saved filter settings will be retained.
