- New Ambulatory Interventional Radiology Panel
A new ambulatory interventional radiology panel called "Outpatient Interventional Radiology Panel" is available for outpatient/ambulatory prescribers to request a radiology procedure for body fluid withdrawal and lab testing. This panel allows the ordering prescriber to indicate to the radiologist which fluid tests are required, plus provides the requisition for the patient to have corresponding blood tests drawn at the outpatient lab. The in-procedure tests are visible to the radiologist and technician as signed and held orders. The panel includes:
- Radiology procedure order - Radiology procedure goes to the Radiant workqueue at the location stated in the order.
- Labs ordered on the body fluid - Orders to be released by radiology staff, then collection documented and sent to lab.
- Blood tests for the patient to have collected on the day of procedure at a lab collection site - Paper requisition will print for blood tests ordered.
This panel will appear in search when synonyms such as thoracentesis, paracentesis, and US guided thoracentesis are used.
