8-4 Edit Patient
This option is normally turned off, but may be turned on by a GE Service Engineer if required. It allows
information on the patient Medical Procedure Card (described in the Worklist chapter) to be viewed
and modified after the exam has been closed. Changes are made by creating a new patient or a new
examination; the original file is always kept for security reasons.
Any changes made to the Patient identity information cause a new patient file to be created, with
copies of the existing exams. Fields which can be changed are: name, ID, date of birth, and sex.
When changes are made and a save is requested a confirmation message is displayed. If the save is
confirmed a message is displayed as a warning that a new entry will be made in the database, and
suggests that the old information should be manually removed. Note that if the old records are not
deleted, repeated use of this facility can rapidly use up disk space.
8-5 Set patient anonymous
This option allows an anonymous set of images to be created, for discussion with colleagues, etc.
Select one or more patients in the Patient name list, then click on the Set patient anonymous option in
the Tools menu. The patient examinations are copied and used to create a new patient with the name
NO NAME and a unique randomly created ID.
