| DESCRIPTION | This function is used mainly by the technologist to change thestatus of an exam. This function is different than the 'Case No. Exam Edit'function, since only certain prompts are asked for each statuschange, while 'Case No. Exam Edit' always asks the same prompts.The type of data asked for during each status change isspecified by the site. The number of statuses and namesare also site specific. However, the choices of what typeof data to be asked is limited. A status can be flagged not to appear as part of the exam status tracking.A site may not want to display a particular exam status, if the dataneeded to change the exam to the next status is usually not entered viathis option. For example, going from the 'Examined' status to'Transcribed' status usually requires interpreting physician's data, butthis is usually entered by the transcriptionist while entering the report. By limiting the statuses that appear under this function,total system performance is improved because of less processing. |
