Worklists and Search

Users often need to quickly and easily locate a study of interest or narrow worklist items. In the prototype design, this functionality is provided via the search box in the upper right corner of the worklist. As a user enters text the worklist will update in real time to provide live feedback on search activity and results.

This search functionality replaces the previous filter text boxes on Centricity RA-1000. In the Centricity interface, text boxes were located under each column header. Typing in the column would automatically filter the worklist by the text input.

The search in the prototype design simplifies this process, combining search into one simple text box.

In instances where users need to search by multiple parameters, the design provides advanced search functionality. Users can launch advanced search by clicking on the icon to the immediate right of the search box. Advanced search allows for more complex search queries among multiple parameters, which have been customized for the data-type they contain (i.e. patient name is a text box while modality is check boxes).

Advanced search functionality



Save worklist search filter to a worklist named by the user.

Users have the ability to either escalate advanced searches to a custom worklist or create a new worklist altogether. A simple interface is provided to support the worklist creation (similar to advanced search interface), in addition to users locating hospital or other individual's worklists to use or save as their own. When the custom worklists are saved they are included in the user's specific set of 'my worklists' for later access.

Create new worklist button shows up in the worklist drop down menu.

Create new worklist features slides below the top menu bar which looks similar to the advance search filter features in addition to a text field to name the worklist.
