The OmniPACS Basic Reporting feature allows you to create, edit, view and download reports for each study. Below is a guide on using the feature.

How to create a report

Step 1: Open report editor

  • Each study on the worklist has a report icon and report count indicator.
    ​

  • Click on the report icon to begin editing a new report or to view a finalized report

NOTE: Report count indicators are color coded. Final reports are yellow and drafted reports are green.

Step 2: Create report

  • Use the report editor to create a report. Rich text formatting tools are available. You may also paste content into the report editor from MS Word or other documentation software.

Step 3: Save the report

  • Two options are available for saving a report: Save draft and close and Save final and close

  • Save draft and final saves the report as a draft and closes the editor window. Reports in this status may be edited until marked as final.

  • Save final and close saves the report as final and closes the editor window. Reports in this status cannot be edited. Addendums can be created by using the Add new button while in report view mode.

Here is a video outlining these steps.
