Global restriction filters


 

Global Restriction filters let the administrator define a filter on an account restricting access to the data so the user sees only those studies that match the filter. This type of filter could be used to prohibit referring physicians from accessing studies that have been requested by other physicians, or to let transcriptionist see only the studies waiting for transcription.  Global Restriction filters must be defined by a user with administrator rights.  

 

After creating the worklist, scroll to the bottom of the worklist.  Under Save List As, select the user ID, set the type to Global Restriction, and click on Save.  A user's global restriction's list name is .access.

 

Global restrictions can be defined for groups as well. This filter is applied before user global restrictions and user-define filter criteria. To create a group global restriction, select the group ID from the user ID list and Group Global Restriction from the list type menu when saving a worklist filter. A group global restriction’s list name is .groupaccess.
