Order groups link multiple orders to a single imaging procedure. When the procedure completes and the images arrive on the server, the server updates all the orders. This includes sending a separate status message to the RIS for each order. A report created for the study is linked to all orders as well.
Orders containing a matching group identifier are grouped automatically. The fields used as the identifier are defined in the HL7 interface mapping files. The RIS is responsible for assuring the individual orders share the same identifier. In the worklist, orders belonging to a group appear in light orange.
In the event the RIS failed to assign the proper identifier in all the associated orders, a user with Scheduling privileges can manually group or ungroup orders. To group existing orders:
