The Radiology card displays the transcribed results of the patient's radiology exams. For each exam, the card lists the exam name, completed date/time, and status. Select the expand (chevron) icon to the left of an exam to view the ordering provider, scheduled date/time, and visit # associated with the exam.

 

By default, the transcriptions display sorted by completed date/time in descending order.

To Filter or Search for Exams on the Card

Hovering over the Exam Name, Completed Date/Time, or Status column displays a menu menu_icon icon. Select this icon and make choices from the panel that displays to filter the information as desired.
