Routing Rule Priority
Automatically routed exams are assigned a default priority of ‘Medium.’ This priority can be changed by adding a priority statement after the conditions for the rule.
Prioritize images based on destination
send("KANSAS")
when MODALITY="CT" priority HIGH
send("BACKUP")
when MODALITY="CT" priority LOW
In addition to the priority that is derived from routing rules, the routing software takes the clinical urgency of an exam into account. For more information, see page 8.
Routing Images from Prior Exams
Images from prior exams can be automatically routed by adding a priorstudy statement after the conditions for the rule.
Do or Do Not include Prior Studies
send("KANSAS")
when MODALITY="CT" priorstudy YES
send("BACKUP")
when MODALITY="CT" priorstudy NO
When priorstudy is set to YES, images from prior exams will be included based on
When priorstudy is set to NO, or if the priorstudy statement is absent, images from prior exams will not be included.
!Using priorstudy in a routing rule can significantly increase network traffic. If a rule of this sort is implemented, be sure to monitor the network to ensure no problems arise.
