Task 2- Approving Workflow for the Staff
Users would be able to approve a study after completion of reporting activity.
Summary: The task of final approval is solely the responsibility of the user who is a staff(Users would be differentiated at the point of loging in). A staff goes through the list of the reports to perform different task on them, one of which is to change studies with “Preliminary” status to “Finalized” status after thorough examination of the reporting done by either a trainee or the user him or herself. The finalized report becomes visible to both the patient and the ordering physician(Nurse Practitioner included).
Users : Must be radiologists (Staff only).
Who cannot approve a “preliminary” reports: Trainees,Technologists , Referring Physicians, PACS Administrators. Anyone who is not a radiologist with a staff status.
Steps:
- Loging into the system (See login Procedure page)
- The user views a reading list with studies having different status
- The user right-clicks on a study to change the status (See Task 1 for additional task for a staff)
- Provide the user approving the study with details on who conducted reporting on the study
- For a finalized report- ask the user if they would like to create an addendum
- If the user decides to create addendum, open the reporting interface for the user to view an editable report (See Task 1-Step 4)
- if the user decides not to create addendum, open the reporting interface with broad report that is not editable.(for viewing purpose)
- Once a user has added addendum, the user can exit the reporting interface.

- Verify that the study can attain all status including 'Finalized' as specified by the user.
- Verify that a dialogue box ask if the user would like to finalize the report
- Verify that a user without a staff status would be prevented from finalizing a report
- Verify that the report becomes visible to the ordering physician and the patient on the event that the user finalizes the report.
