eRAD RIS/PACS matches incoming study objects to existing orders, current studies to relevant cases, and likely order-study pairs. The rules used to determine which two objects belong together are defined on the matching criteria page. The link to this page is located under Settings/System Settings. Click on set matching criteria to set the criteria.
The matching criteria page consists of the following sections:
Default Sources Table: Specifies the source of the default data value used when merging an order and images. Select the source and set by clicking Change. The Temporary column indicates the value is taken from the source device and used when displayed in the browser or viewer, but the value is not stored in the actual image object.
Show Free Text Fields: When manually correcting studies to orders, users can select values from the order, the study or insert any value from the web page. If an administrator wishes to remove the option to enter a value manually, set this setting to No.
Autocorrection Matching Criteria: Defines the fields that must match in both the order and image object in order for the system to automatically merge the two.
Correction List Criteria: Defines the criteria used to build the matching studies list on the correction page. The study list is sorted as defined here, so put the most likely set of matching fields at the top of the list.
Relevant Cases List Criteria: Defines the matching pattern for searching the archive for prior studies that match the current study.
Scheduler: Device Matching Criteria: When creating an order from a study, this defines the study fields used to identify the matching device.
Scheduler: Procedure Matching Criteria: When creating an order from a study, this defines the study fields used to identify the matching procedure.
Scheduler: Patient Matching Criteria: When creating an order from a study, this defines the study fields used to find a patient record.
Scheduler: Referring Physician Matching Criteria: When creating an order from a study, this defines the study fields used to find a referring physician record.
