Overview
The Worklist (Figure A3-1) shows scheduled, completed, discontinued, suspended, and active procedures.
The majority of the Worklist is the Patient List. The Patient List is a large table made of columns and rows.
Each row in the list is a procedure, or exam, to be performed. A patient may have multiple procedures
(rows) on the Worklist.
Procedures listed can be classified under two categories:
• Locally entered procedures: This category refers to procedures entered directly on the mobile unit or
system workstation by manually entering the information. Locally entered procedures are only
available to the unit or workstation that they were entered on. They do not update automatically and
no other units or workstations can access them.
• Hospital Information System (HIS) or Radiology Information System (RIS) Procedures: This category
refers to procedures that the Worklist can automatically update from the central HIS/RIS database.
Other units or workstations can be configured to access these procedures. If the GE Portable DR
Detector is used in a mobile unit, the Worklist can only update with new information from the HIS or
RIS if the unit is connected to the facility network.
