NEW IMAGING DISCHARGE ORDER
A new ordering question was added to all imaging procedures, “Is this patient discharging today?”
A response of “Discharging” will help the Radiology Techs to prioritize these exams.
IMPORTANT: If you have an imaging order in your Preference List, please update the order.
Below is a picture of the new question, as well as instructions to update your preference list (delete the existing order and add the new order)
