Pre-Read Workflow

Utilizing the Pre-Read read type for a radiology group enables some workflows which may be helpful in situations where the initial read is not intended to be sent to the healthcare provider.  It is a private read type for radiology groups, and may be used as an internal state for the report before it is completed for the facility.
