Scheduled Workflow
Scheduled Workflow (SWF) integrates ordering, scheduling, imaging acquisition, storage and viewing for Radiology exams.
Summary
Scheduled Workflow establishes a seamless flow of information that supports efficient patient care workflow in a typical imaging encounter. It specifies transactions that maintain the consistency of patient information from registration through ordering, scheduling, imaging acquisition, storage and viewing. This consistency is also the foundation for subsequent workflow steps, such as reporting.
