Moving One or More Studies to a Different Facility

It may be necessary to move a study from one facility to another within your organization.  Such a scenario may occur if a study was uploaded via the web interface to the wrong facility or DICOM institution based routing failed because of an incorrect DICOM header value.

Requirements

  • The user must have the “Modify patient/study/series data” permission
  • The user must have access to multiple facilities that allow updates for patient, study, and series data.

If you are unable to move studies for your organization check these settings or contact the administrator for your group.

Selecting a study to move

Studies may be moved individually or in bulk.  To move an individual study, right-click on the study on the worklist and select "Study management -> Move study to a different facility"

To move multiple studies, select multiple studies on the worklist and use the "Manage" menu in the bottom toolbar to select "Move to a different facility".

Selecting a destination facility

Next, you will prompted to select a destination facility.  Select a facility from the list of available facilities. 

NOTE:  It is important to confirm that the study you have selected and the destination facility are correct.  Once the study is moved it will be visible to users in the new facility.  Additionally, if the facilities have different retention rules it may trigger a retention based flush of the imaging data.  Please make certain you are moving the correct entities before proceeding.

Click on "Move to facility" to initiate the move.

Executing the move

You will be prompted to confirm the study move prior to it being performed.

Warning:  If the study was previously confirmed for interpretation it will need to be re-confirmed in the new facility. 

 

Upon clicking yes, the study will be moved to the new facility.
