Proofreading Workflow
It may be desirable, especially when using dictation software, to send a report for review prior to completing the report. Reviewing users such as radiology support staff, other radiologists, or a transcriptionist can review the report and finalize the report on behalf of the radiologist if no changes are made, or make modifications and send the report back to the authoring radiologist to either complete or send back to be finalized. If a reviewing radiologist with full privileges to the facility makes changes, she can elect to complete the report signed by herself if needed.

There will also be an additional toolbar at the bottom of the report entry form that will show who drafted and reviewed the report. Making no changes and clicking on "Finalize" will complete the report on behalf of the radiologist. Clicking the "Make changes" button and the "Review Complete" button will save the changes to the draft report, assign the study back to the radiologist, and change the study status to "transcribed." The original radiologist may now complete the report or re-submit the draft for another review. If the proofreader makes changes and submits sends the report back to the radiologist a study note will back added that summarizes the changes made.
The worklist can be filtered by studies that have "Draft for review" reports. By selecting this value, and adjusting the study state to either "transcribed" for a radiologist or "dictated" for a reviewing users will create a worklist tab that quickly shows cases that need to be either completed or reviewed.
Proofread typographical errors

Proofreaders with the "Proofread typographical errors" may make minor changes to the report and submit the report on behalf of the interpreting physician. |
Use
In some cases it is convenient or expedient for a proofreader to make minor typographical changes without sending the case back to the radiologist. For example, a stroke report should not necessarily be held up for several minutes to correct a capitalization of the first letter of sentence.
When "make changes" is selected the "Finalize" button will show as "Finalize With Changes". Submitting the report will show a warning and offer to submit for radiologist review or to submit with trivial typographical errors corrections.
When this is done a message is sent to the interpreting physician with a summary of the changes that were made. A summary of changes are also included in the study audit history.
