Forward Existing Oldest Studies To Destination AE

[aflohr]

Pacsone's autorouting is one of the most important feature to my customers.

In their eyes the "Forward Existing xxx Oldest Studies To Destination AE" needs 2 more options:

1) Forward Existing xxx Oldest Studies from <Modality> To Destination AE (Modality = "all" or MR, CT, US, DX ...)

The reason for that ist, that one doctor who only makes MRs is not interessed in US/DX/CT Studys whitch may be the latest/first 2 one.

2) Forward Existing xxx Oldest Studies To Destination AE only use Patient ID
The reason for this ist, that not all Modalitys are used with worklists. So if there is a new study for patient Xiaohui, Li (see blank beetween) with ID 12345, the former study of Xiaohui,Li (see blank is missing) with the same ID 12345 is not forwared. ( I know that i can resolve the error by checking duplicate IDs)

For #2 above, do you mean to apply the Forward N Oldest Studies only if the older studies contain the same Patient Name as the newly received study?

[aflohr]

no, not the name must be the same, the ID must be the same.

[pacsone]

That is indeed the current implementation, i.e., to forward N existing oldest studies of the same Patient ID.

[aflohr]

Does it realy only check the patiend ID and not the patient ID AND the patient name ?

[pacsone]

Yes, PacsOne performs the look-up by the Patient ID and forwards the N existing studies of the same Patient ID as the newly received Dicom study. Patient Name information is not even involved in this case.
