Reviewing Reports in an Assigned Workflow

In an assigned peer review workflow, a completed report is automatically assigned by the PRAE to a suitable radiologist and appears in the reviewing radiologist's Peer Review worklist. The radiologist opens the order from the Peer Review worklist, and reviews the report.

To review a report in an assigned workflow:

  1. Click the Peer Reviews tab to view the Peer Review worklist.

    The Peer Review worklist displays a list of peer reviews that have been assigned to you by the PRAE.

  2. Sort the Peer Review worklist, if necessary, to find the peer review you require. See Sorting the Peer Review Worklist.

    By default, the Peer Review worklist is sorted by the flagged date and time in ascending order.

  3. In the Peer Review worklist, right-click the peer review and choose Review Now, or double-click the peer review.

    The order is opened for peer review. A yellow flag icon Peer Review yellow icon appears in the peer review column in the Patient Record tab, and the Peer Review section appears.

  4. In the Report section, click Show Report to display the report text.
  5. In the Peer Review section, select the opinion that best represents your evaluation of the interpretation.
  6. In Actions Taken, select the check box that best represents the actions you took as a result of the review.
  7. To add general comments regarding your review, enter them in the Comments field.

    If you selected an opinion that requires a comment, the Comments field label will display (Required) in red, and the Send button becomes inactive. Once you have entered a comment, the Send button is active.

  8. Click Send.

    When you click Send, the review is sent to the IntelePACS server, the order is closed, and the Peer Review worklist is refreshed.

    Any pending reviews in the Peer Review worklist will be remembered the next time you start InteleViewer.

    Depending on the opinion selected for the review, a notification email is sent to inform the required people of a discrepant or concordant peer review finding. Your PACS administrator or Quality Control manager configures the evaluation options which trigger automatic notifications of discrepant or concordant reviews.

To decline to review a report in an assigned workflow:

  1. In the Peer Review worklist, right-click the peer review and then choose Reject.

    The peer review is removed from the Peer Review worklist, and the PRAE reassigns the peer review to another suitable reviewing radiologist.
