Study Grouping With Breast Imaging Studies

Study Grouping allows users to dictate and create reports for multiple studies belonging to the same patient at the same time. For more information on Study Grouping, refer to the topic Grouping Studies

Group Breast Imaging Studies or group Breast Imaging Studies with non-Breast Imaging studies.

For a Study to be a Breast Imaging Study, the following conditions must be met:

  • A Study must belong to a facility having Stana enabled. For more information on this criterion, please refer to the topic, Enabling a Facility with Stana.
  • A Study must have the study status different from CANCEL, include at at least one Procedure Code enabling Stana and have a valid Study date time.

These conditions do not apply to a non-Breast Imaging study that is being grouped to a Breast Imaging Study.

Behaviors of Study Grouping

After Grouping

Scenario 1: No existing reports and the user is either a Radiologist, Performing Technologist, Performing Physician or a Transcriptionist

There are two studies without any reports that are to be grouped, one a Breast Imaging Study and the other one a non-Breast Imaging study. Once you have grouped these studies, the study grouping demonstrates the following behavior:

  • The Stana tab is displayed for both studies when the Document Viewer is opened. For the non-Breast Imaging study, the Stana tab would have all the information from the Stana tab of the Breast Imaging study. You can distinguish the studies by the study Accession numbers.

There are two Breast Imaging studies without any reports that are to be grouped. Once you have grouped these studies, the study grouping demonstrates the following behavior:

  • Each Study will have its own respective study information displayed in the Stana tab when the Document Viewer is opened.

Scenario 2: Existing reports and the user is either a Radiologist, Performing Technologist, Performing Physician or a Transcriptionist

There are two studies to be grouped, one a Breast Imaging Study and the other one a non-Breast Imaging study. Either one of these studies has reports. Once you have grouped these studies, the study grouping demonstrates the following behavior:

  • The Stana tab is displayed for both studies when the Document Viewer is opened. For the non-Breast Imaging study, the Stana tab would have all the information from the Stana tab of the Breast Imaging study. You can distinguish the studies by the study Accession numbers.
  • The reports are shared by both studies.

Scenario 3: No existing reports and user is not either a Radiologist, Performing Technologist, Performing Physician or a Transcriptionist. User has a Access Stana privilege.

There are two studies without any reports that are to be grouped, one a Breast Imaging Study and the other one a non-Breast Imaging study. Once you have grouped these studies, the study grouping demonstrates the following behavior:

  • The Stana tab is displayed only with Patient Questionnaire for both the studies when the Document Viewer is opened. For the non-Breast Imaging study, the Patient Questionnaire in Stana tab would have all the information from that of the Breast Imaging study. You can distinguish the studies by the study Accession numbers.

You can distinguish the studies by their study Accession numbers.
  • The reports are shared by both studies.

After Grouping and Then Un-Grouping

Scenario:

There are two studies with reports to be grouped, one a Breast Imaging Study and the other one a non-Breast Imaging study. Let us name the Breast Imaging study as ST1 and the non-Breast Imaging study as ST2.

Now group the studies ST2 and ST1.

Once these studies are grouped, the study grouping demonstrates the following behavior:

  • The Stana tab is displayed for both studies (ST2 and ST1) when the Document Viewer is opened. For the non-Breast Imaging study (ST2), the Stana tab would have all the information from the Stana tab of the Breast Imaging study (ST1).
  • The reports are shared by both studies.

Now create a Diagnostic Report for Study ST2 and un-group ST1 and ST2.

Once these studies are ungrouped, the following behavior is demonstrated:

  • When opening study ST2, the Stana tab is no longer available.
  • When opening study ST1, the Stana tab is displayed.

The newly created Diagnostic report stays in either of the studies.
