Summary

Patient Information Reconciliation extends Scheduled Workflow by providing the means to match images acquired for an unidentified patient (for example, during a trauma case) with the patient's registration and order history. In the example of the trauma case, this allows subsequent reconciliation of the patient record with images acquired (either without a prior registration or under a generic registration) before the patient's identity could be determined.

Benefits

Enabling after-the-fact matching greatly simplifies exception-handling situations.
