forward existing studies for patient in DMWL automatically

Post by lorriz » Tue Jun 06, 2006 9:27 pm

Can Pacsone forward existing studies automatically based on a rule set in autoroute table where for example source AE is DMWL and target AE is the WS, route is done immediately and checking the option of sending N previous studies?
Thanks in advance

Not sure if DMWL is related to the auto-routing here, since you can always define a routing rule, specify the source AE and the destination AE (workstation) and PacsOne will forward any received imags from this source AE to the dest AE automatically based on your defined schedule (s).

Maybe you can elaborate on the details about how DMWL is involved?

Pacsone asks the DMWL the next day work list and forwards existing studies for each patient in the work list to the AE specified in the worklist automatically.
I would need to do what Nasser asked on the following post but automatically (PREFETCHING IMAGES):

This seems like a good feature to add, let's summarize what needs to be implemented for PacsOne:

1. PacsOne will query the remote DMWL server for today/next day's worklist.

2. For each returned worklist entry, PacsOne will look up the scheduled AE workstation and check if there is any existing study for the scheduled patient.

3. If there is one or more existing studies for the scheduled patient, and the scheduled AE in the worklist data is defined in the PacsOne AE table, PacsOne will automatically forward all the existing studies of the scheduled patient to that AE.

If you agree with the above requirements for this feature, we will implement it for the next release.

Great!

That sounds great!

Supposing we have as in my customers'case, more than one AE for the same modality, the use case should cover AE and modality not only AE.

Can I suggest this:

1. PacsOne will query the remote DMWL server or
itself when acting as DMWL SCP for today/next day's worklist.

2. For each returned worklist entry, PacsOne will look up the scheduled AE node, (as an option) the modality of the requested procedure, and check if there is any existing study, (if set as an option) with the same modality of the study requested, for the scheduled patient.

3. If there is one or more existing studies for the scheduled patient, and the scheduled AE in the worklist data is defined in the PacsOne AE table, PacsOne will automatically forward all the existing studies (or the N number of studies defined) of the scheduled patient to that AE.

What do you think?

It's not clear what you mean in #2 above.

Yes, the Modality information is contained in the worklist data returned to PacsOne, do you mean PacsOne needs to use this Modality information as an additional filter for forwarding existing studies of the scheduled patient?

For example, if the scheduled patient has 3 existing studies: CT, MR and US, if the Modality information contained in the returned worklist data is "CT", then PacsOne should only forward the existing CT study to the scheduled AE (instead of forwarding all 3 studies)?

The example fits perfectly.
Thanks a lot.
