Best Practices

  • Always search for the patient before creating a new record. Duplicate patient records cause report history to be split.
  • Record contrast dye allergies accurately. A patient with a contrast allergy must be flagged before any CT or MRI with contrast is performed.
  • Collect the mobile number for every patient. Without it, the appointment confirmation and reminder SMS will not be sent.
  • Record the referring doctor’s name in the appointment or patient record so the Diagnostic Report can be addressed correctly.
