Imaging study completion processing system
First Claim
1. An automated system for managing completion of a medical imaging study having one or more different reports associated with one or more different personnel, comprising:
- at least one processing device executing stored machine readable instructions and including,a user interface providing a plurality of display images;
a configuration processor for enabling a user, using a display image, to assign a predetermined completion status to a plurality of different reports requiring completion by a corresponding plurality of different personnel for designation of an associated imaging study as complete, said predetermined completion status being used to indicate individual reports of said plurality of different reports are complete as required for said associated imaging study to be designated complete, said imaging study being produced during a patient imaging examination;
a monitoring processor for automatically monitoring stored indicators indicating current status of said plurality of different reports requiring completion for designation of said associated imaging study as complete; and
a decision processor for, in response to said monitoring of said stored indicators, automatically determining whether a current status of a report matches a corresponding predetermined completion status of a report for individual reports associated with said imaging study and in response to a match for said individual reports, automatically changing status of said imaging study by designating said imaging study is complete and signed.

Abstract
An automated system manages completion of a medical imaging study having one or more different reports associated with one or more different personnel. A user interface provides multiple display images. A configuration processor enables a user, using a display image, to assign a predetermined completion status to a report. The predetermined completion status is used to indicate a report is complete as required for an associated imaging study to be designated complete. A monitoring processor monitors stored indicators indicating current status of corresponding reports associated with the imaging study. A decision processor, in response to the monitoring of the stored indicators, automatically determines whether a current status of a report matches a corresponding predetermined completion status of a report for individual reports associated with the imaging study and in response to a match for the individual reports, initiates generation of a message indicating the imaging study is complete.

16. A method for managing completion of a medical imaging study having one or more different reports associated with one or more different personnel, comprising the activities of:
-
providing a plurality of display images enabling a user to, assign a current status to a report of an imaging study produced during a patient imaging examination and comprising a plurality of different reports requiring completion by a corresponding plurality of different workers for designation of an associated imaging study as complete and assign a predetermined completion status to a plurality of reports, said predetermined completion status being used to indicate said plurality of reports are complete as required for said associated imaging study to be designated complete; automatically monitoring stored indicators indicating current status of said plurality of different reports requiring completion for designation of said associated imaging study as complete; and a decision processor for using said monitoring processor to automatically using said monitoring in determining whether a current status of a report matches a corresponding predetermined completion status of a report for individual reports associated with said imaging study and in response to a match for said individual reports, automatically changing status of said imaging study by designating said imaging study is complete and signed. - View Dependent Claims (17)
