When the PACS acquires a set of images for which no order exists, the RIS may not process the exam, bill the customer or insurance provider, etc, until someone creates the order in the RIS. To create an order using the demographic information entered at the modality and present on the PACS worklist, use the PACS Corrections page.
Click the Worklist tab.
Click the Corrections tab.
Select Unmatched Studies from the pull-down list to display the list of studies that were not matched to any order.
If necessary, use the filter tools to find the study in the table.

Skip the next step.
Click the Create Order button, ,
to initiate the wizard to walk you through creating the order. The screens
that follow prompt you to select, in order, the acquisition device, the
procedure, the patient, the referring physician, and the procedure details.

button,
, to pop up a detailed list. In the case of patient
demographics, click the Add New button,
, to create a
new patient record using the study’s data to pre-initialize it. When done,

After completing the wizard or retrieving the order from eRAD Scheduler, the system automatically combines the order and procedure using the Default Correction Sources configuration, and creates the order in eRAD Scheduler.
If multiple records on the worklist use the same Accession Number, a
warning indicator, , appears in the study’s row. This condition
occurs when two studies share the same accession number, or an order and
study are not automatically corrected. The administrator must clear the
condition manually before processing this study further.
