Using VistARad in a Routing System

This chapter explains how to use the VistARad diagnostic workstation software at sites that are part of a routing system. This chapter covers the following topics:

ƒDisplaying Routed Exams

ƒVistARad & On-Demand Routing

Displaying Routed Exams

In VistA Imaging, the VistARad diagnostic workstation is used to display routed exams. A routed exam is available for display when the RC (Remote Cache) column in a VistARad exam list contains the destination name established for your site.

Values in the RC column are based on the SITE field in the sending site’s NETWORK LOCATION File (#2005.2).

ƒWhen VistARad is used at a site that is the source of routed exams, the RC column can be used to determine which exams have been routed, and where they have been routed to.

ƒWhen VistARad is used at a site that is the destination of routed exams, users will need to log into the sending site’s VistA system. After logging in, VistARad will automatically filter exam lists to include only routed exams (this filter can be removed if desired; see the next page for details).

Detailed steps for displaying routed exams are on the next page.
