Available read types include :Preliminary - The "preliminary"Preliminary", "Final", "Other", and "Pre-read". The first three read types (Preliminary, Final, and Other) are public read types - when reports of one of these three read types are issued, they will be visible to appropriately authorized and privileged users for the facility that sent the case, for example, ER physicians, or other referring physicians. An additional, purely internal read type, also exists, which is called a "Pre-read". Reports that are issed of the "pre-read" type are visible only to radiology group-side users, such as radiologists, radiology support personnel, and group administrators.
Through the re-assignment capabilities of auto-assignment rules, as needed, studies can be configured to pass through a sequential cascade of pre-reads, preliminary reads, and final reads. See "Multiple Read Types" for further details.
| Read type | Description |
|---|---|
| Preliminary | The "preliminary" label describes a read type that is not the final/last report that will be issued for a study. Preliminary reports can be transmitted to any desired/configured destination. When a Preliminary report is issued, it is often followed by a Final report, which may be issued either by the OnePACS radiology group, or another group, such as a local group servicing the hospital or facility sending the case for a Preliminary read in OnePACS. |
| Final |
...
| The "final" label describes a read type that is the last/official report that will be issued for a study. It often follows issuance of a "Preliminary" read. |
...
| Other | The "other" label is provided for use for other miscellaneous use cases for which the Preliminary or Final labels may not be optimal, or may be used when an additional read type is needed on top of the existing Preliminary and Final read types. |
The above three read types are public read types - when reports of one of these three read types are issued, they will be visible to appropriately authorized and privileged users for the facility that sent the case, for example, ER physicians, or other referring physicians.
...
| Pre-read | Reports that are issed of the "pre-read" type are visible only to radiology group-side users, such as radiologists, radiology support personnel, and group administrators. The "pre-read" read type does not display in OnePACS by default, but can be enabled on request by asking OnePACS support to activate this read type. Other than not being visible to facility-side users (referring physicians, sending facility technologists, and so on), the pre-read read type has all the functionality of the other read types. That is, information regarding pre-read reports can be exported in data export, pre-read read types can be associated with fees for reading radiologists, and pre-read reports can be subject to internal peer review reports. |
