Did you know that you can map procedure codes to diagnostic codes in PowerScribe 360 Reporting?

PowerScribe 360 Reporting is installed with a master set of both the ICD-9 and ICD-10 diagnostic codes. Each of your procedure codes can be mapped to diagnostic codes to specify valid diagnoses for those procedures.

To map procedure codes to diagnostic codes:

1. Add the columns ICDCode and ICDDesc to your Procedure Master Translator spreadsheet.

   NOTE: If you have multiple diagnostic codes for one line item, place them in the same cell, using a comma to separate them.



3. Save your Procedure Master Translator spreadsheet.
4. Log in to the PowerScribe 360 Reporting Administrator Portal.
5. Click Setup > Procedures > Import.
6. Select the appropriate site.
   
7. Browse to the Procedure Master Translator spreadsheet you created in steps 1 through 3 above.
8. Click Next.

   

9. From the Mapping drop-down lists, select the item that matches your column heading name.

eTip 3

Did you know that you can create a Fill-In Field that references an existing AutoText?

In PowerScribe 360 Reporting version 4.0, you can now create fill-in fields that reference an existing AutoText allowing the referenced AutoText content to be used within the field. You can use either the new AutoText type or the existing Pick List fill-in field type to reference the AutoText.

NOTE: If a referenced AutoText is deleted or renamed, the reference is no longer valid and the field will be empty when inserted into a radiology report.

Using the AutoText Type

1. Open the AutoText Editor and either start a new AutoText or open an existing one that you want to modify.
2. With your mouse cursor in the AutoText creation area, click the Fill-in button to open the Fill-in Field Definition dialog box.
3. Give the fill-in field a name, and from the Type list, select AutoText.

   

   Notice that the AutoText button on the right becomes active.

4. Click the AutoText button to open the AutoText Search dialog box.

   

5. Using the Browse section, search for and select an AutoText. The AutoText content opens in the preview section (bottom) of the dialog box.

   NOTE: The AutoText Search displays only AutoTexts that do not contain references to other AutoTexts.

6. When finished, click OK to place the selected AutoText into the Default portion of your fill-in field definition.

   

7. Click OK to return to your AutoText Editor.

   

   The fill-in field definition you just created appears in your AutoText at your cursor location. Placing your mouse cursor over the field displays the type and content.

eTip 4

Did you know that you can assign values to custom fields using the administrator portal?

Assigning values to custom fields may be very useful for reporting and can alleviate the radiologist from having to dictate exam measurements.

Editors and technologists can use the PowerScribe 360 Reporting Administrator Portal to assign values to custom fields on unreported orders.

Administrators can assign values to custom fields at any time using the administrator portal.

The portal view differs depending on the role of the user (i.e., whether the user is an editor, technologist or administrator). An administrator can populate or change custom fields at any stage of reporting, even after the report is final.

Assigning Custom Fields as an Editor or Technologist

1. As an editor or technologist logged into the portal, search for the applicable exam under the Explorer tab. Select the Custom Fields tab and click Insert Custom Fields.

   

   The Order Custom Fields dialog displays.

   

2. Click the Value field to assign a value to the custom field.
3. If applicable, select the Filter by Role check box.
4. When finished populating the custom fields for your report, click Save Changes and Close Window.

Assigning Custom Fields as an Administrator

1. Log in to the portal as an administrator, search for and select the applicable exam under the Explorer tab.
2. Click Actions and select Edit Custom Fields,

   

   The Order Custom Fields dialog displays.

   

3. Click the Value field to assign a value to the custom field.
4. When finished populating or changing the custom fields, click Save Changes and Close Window.
