eTip 2

Did you know that you can configure BI-RADS codes in PowerScribe 360 Reporting?

You can configure the BI-RADS codes and the text of the corresponding BI-RADS statements that appear on mammography reports.

Only a single BI-RADS code can be assigned to a study. If you need to use codes that represent follow-up recommendations, you should use custom fields for both BI-RADS codes and any other codes, rather than using the feature described in this eTip.

To create a BI-RADS code:

  1. Select the System tab in the Setup group.
  2. Click BI-RADS....

    BI-RADS

    The BI-RADS Codes dialog displays.

    BI-RADS Codes

  3. Click the Add BI-RADS plus sign icon. A new row is added to the table.
  4. Type the code and description.
  5. Click the Save icon to save your changes.

To edit a BI-RADS code:

  1. In the Setup group, select the System tab.
  2. Click BI-RADS.... The BI-RADS Codes dialog displays.
  3. Click the Edit BI-RADS Edit icon of the code you want to modify. The code and description are opened for editing.
  4. Type your changes to the code, description, or both.
  5. Click the Save icon to save your changes.

To delete a BI-RADS code:

  1. In the Setup group, select the System tab.
  2. Click BI-RADS.... The BI-RADS Codes dialog box opens.
  3. Click the Delete BI-RADS Delete icon of the code you want to delete. A confirmation message
    appears.
  4. Click OK to delete the item.

eTip 3

Did you know that you can view and print audits of user activity?

The Accounts tab of the Setup group allows you to monitor activity by the users in your system. The Account Events window shows such activities as password changes, deactivation of users, and changes to preferences.

LMO and ACO events appear in the Account Events window only when they are successful. Any failed LMO or ACO processes appear in the Exception tab in the Logs group. To see all activity on the Speech Utility Server, refer to the ACO/LMO tab in the Logs group.

To view the audit log:

  1. Find the user account whose events you want to audit. Refer to Searching for Existing Users in the Administrator Guide for your system.
  2. With the user account displayed, click Audit. The Account Events window opens, and displays all activity for this user.

    Account Events

  3. If desired, select one or more criteria by which to filter the events list:
  • Select an event type from the Type drop-down list. The table below shows the available event types.

What's fixed

The following PowerScribe 360 version has been released:

  • PowerScribe 360 Reporting V4.0.1 Patch 1 Client Update (7.0.111.7) US/UK  

PowerScribe 360 V4.0.1 Patch 1 Client Update (7.0.111.7) US/UK  

The key defects fixed for this release are highlighted below:

  • The "Delete last utterance" function was not working correctly regardless of the PowerMic button to which it was mapped.
  • The incorrect Help page is displayed when selecting the "Help->What Can I Say?" from within the PS360 Client.
  • When a dictated report contains an "Impression" section, the Communicate Critical Results dialogue does not have the option "Include Audio Impression" available to select.
  • While a report is being actively dictated by a user, the entire text within the current field being dictated into can be highlighted and dictated over when order data changes during reporting. This can occur when the System and/or User preference "Monitor order data changes during reporting" is set to "Notify and apply changes" (Default value) or "Apply changes without notification". This issue will not occur if the value is set to "Disabled".
