Cerner is down and the Radiologist needs to create a report in McKesson

 

  1. The Radiologist will see the exam on his McKesson worklist.
  2. The Radiologist will double click the exam in PACS to open the study.
  3. Study opens in Powerscribe with template skip to number 11.
  4. Study doesn’t open in Powerscribe go to number 5.
  5. Powerscribe will not open the study due to study still in scheduled status.
  6. Radiologist should add UN, GT,NO,SO,LB,OB in front of accession and click search
  7. (PowerScribe may want the Radiologist to Create a Temporary Order)
  8. Select the order that best describes the exam and select OK.
  9. The report palette will open.

FYI: This is done so the template associated to the exam will auto populate.

2nd FYI: The Radiologist does not have to select the exact exam to proceed to dictate, BUT they must be aware that template of the exam they choose WILL be the one that opens.

Residents will want to include a note to indicate to the Radiologist as much of the patient information as possible so they can find the patient in PACS to compare images to the report
