Submitting a Normal Report

For cases that are routine and normal, you may find that a standard template provides all or most of the information you need for your report. For this scenario, when little or no dictation is required, you can follow a more streamlined workflow, whereby you submit a standard or slightly altered report template for signing.

To submit a normal report:

1. Open the order that you require.

   The Multi-Method Reporting window appears. A template is automatically selected for your order based on template matching rules that are configured by either your PACS administrator or a user with the necessary privileges. See, Editing Template Matching Rules.

2. Click Edit Report.

   The draft report, based on the matched report template, becomes editable.

   Multi-Method Reporting switches to self-editing mode, allowing you to edit your draft report manually or with voice commands. See Self-Editing the Draft Report.

3. If you want to use another template, select the report template from the Templates menu.

   The new template appears in the Report Editor.

   You can choose which report templates appear in the Templates menu by using the Manage Template Matching window. See Hiding Report Templates from the Templates Menu.

4. Make the necessary edits to the report, either manually or by using voice commands. See Self-Editing the Draft Report.

5. Click Sign.

   Your report is sent to the Dictated section of the Worklist tab. See Signing a Report or Addendum.

6. To immediately dictate the next order in the worklist when you are finished, see Opening the Next Order.
