Coming Soon: Flagging Findings

· 3 min read

Overview​

Readers can flag the findings in a diagnostic report by severity from the Document Viewer toolbar and record when the concerned party has been notified/communicated (e.g., Referring Physician). Flags track the finding notification workflow with visual indicators showing Critical, Urgent, or Important priority levels.

What's New​

1. Flag Drawer with Three Severity Levels​

What changed:​

The flag icon in the top toolbar opens a drawer showing three severity levels: Critical (Red), Urgent (Orange), and Important (Yellow).

Benefit:​

Provides a standardized way to categorize and prioritize findings based on urgency and clinical significance.

2. Confirmation Message and Undo​

What changed:​

When a flag is selected, a 5-second confirmation message appears in the bottom-left corner with an Undo option. Click Undo to reverse the action with no history recorded.

Benefit:​

Provides immediate feedback and prevents accidental flag actions, allowing quick correction if needed.

3. Mark Notified Tracking​

What changed:​

Below each flag level is a " Mark Notified" option to record that the referring physician has been contacted. A green checkmark (✓) appears on the toolbar flag when marked as notified.

Availability --- Native DV: Available on Preliminary, Final, and Final Amended reports; NOT during amendments.

Availability --- MD.ai: Available on Final and Final Amended reports. Flagging an MD.ai report while a draft (Preliminary) is being added.

Benefit:​

Tracks which findings have been communicated to referring physicians, ensuring critical notifications are not missed.

4. Finding History and Action Tracking​

What changed:​

"View History" opens a side panel showing Finding Details, Action History (all completed flag actions), and Notification Status. Undone actions do not appear in history.

Benefit:​

Provides a complete audit trail of all flag actions and notification status for compliance and tracking purposes.

5. Worklist Priority and Ordering​

What changed:​

Flags appear in the worklist with color indicators. Critical flags, then Urgent, then Important studies sort first. A flag set during an amendment takes precedence for worklist ordering.

Benefit:​

Ensures highest-priority findings are always visible first, making it easy to focus on the most urgent cases.

6. Reading Physicians Can Flag​

What changed:​

Reading Physicians can now flag reports, and flags are viewable by all users.

Benefit:​

Extends finding prioritization to all reporting users, not just radiologists, ensuring comprehensive coverage.

Important Notes​

  • Flags can be added while creating a report or after signing.

  • Only the user who signed the report can edit it during amendment; new flags take precedence for worklist ordering.

  • When a flagged report is marked Entered in Error, the flag remains but becomes inactive; the CF worklist entry is removed.

  • Flags on other reports in a multi-report study still count and keep the worklist entry.

  • Undoing Entered in Error restores the flag with its complete history.

  • Mark Notified availability differs between Native DV and MD.ai-based on report state.

Where to Find It​
