Reports and addendums

●

●

Allow order association

Controls whether the provider has the right to add unreported orders to existing reports, or to dissociate an order from a multi-accession report. This function is available only if your RIS/HIS permits multiple accessions per order.

True

●

●

Allow correctionist workflow

Select this option to activate the Correct and Reject functions for radiologists.

True

●

●

Allow order association on preliminary reports

User can add or remove orders to/from reports that have already reached preliminary status (Pending Signature) and have been sent to the RIS. (With some RIS, adding orders to a preliminary report results in an error.)

True

●

●

Allow signing reports with temporary order

Attending physicians can sign and finalize reports associated with one or more temporary orders. (With some RIS, signing a temporary order results in an error because the report date precedes the order date.)

True

●

●

Allow attending signoff on resident login

The attending radiologist can enter her password and finalize reports while the resident is logged in without interrupting the resident's session. This is accomplished by holding down the Shift key and selecting Approve; the system displays a confirmation prompt.

True

●

●

Allow order assignment

This preference controls whether unreported orders can be assigned to radiologists.

If you select this option, the My Reports pane in the Explorer window contains a link to retrieve orders assigned to the logged-in user. Selecting this option also enables the Assign Order function, which allows one radiologist to assign an order to another.

True

●

●

Allow to override assigned orders

If you select this preference, a radiologist can create a report for an order that has been assigned to another radiologist, or associate such an order to an existing report. In this case the system displays a confirmation prompt informing the user of the current assignment. The system ignores this preference unless you also select the Allow order assignment preference.

True

●

●

Allow correction after keyboard edit

If you do not select this preference, the user cannot send a dictated report to correction when manual edits have been made to the dictated text. This prevents transcriptionist/editors from receiving reports that might have missing audio, therefore, it is recommended that you not select this preference.

False

●

Allow Assure consistency check

Allows users to run the Assure report consistency checker.

NOTE: Assure is a purchasable option. Talk to your Nuance sales representative for more information.

True

●

●

Allow table authoring

NOTE: Currently, only Epic integrations support table uploads.

NOTE: Table authoring will be available in the AutoText editor screen when this preference is selected for any of the user's accessible sites.

NOTE: This preference cannot prevent the user from adding tables via copy/paste, or by inserting an AutoText that contains tables.
