Creating Report and Addendum Templates

Using the Manage Report Templates window, the following users can create the following templates:

Type of Template:	User:	Definition of Template:
Personal	Radiologist	A personal report or addendum template can be used only by the user who created it. However, a transcriptionist can also select a dictating radiologist’s personal templates during the transcription process.
Global	Radiologist or Transcriptionist	A global template is a report template or an addendum template that can be used by any user. Users must have the Manage Report Template privilege in InteleBrowser to create global report templates.

These templates may contain fields that automatically populate with either order (HL7) information or user-defined information.

To create a report or addendum template:

1. Access the Report Template Manager. See Accessing the Report Template Manager.

2. In the Report Template Manager, click Create Template.

   The Document Model Selection window appears.

   This window appears only if multiple document models are configured for your workflow.

3. To review the various document models, click each to display the default sections in each.

4. Select a report or addendum document model and click OK.

   The Template Editor appears.

5. In the Name field, enter a name for your report template.

   Since the report template name can be used in a voice command, the name should only contain alphanumeric characters, and be easy to pronounce.

6. In the Category field, select whether to make the template a personal or a global template.

   To use this feature, ask your PACS administrator to enable the Manage Report Template privilege in your user account.

7. To enter a field in one of the sections, refer to the section on Adding, Editing, or Deleting a Field, later in this topic.

8. Click Save to save the report or addendum template.

   The template appears in the list of templates in the Report Template Manager.
