Under certain circumstances, information from hl7 messages received by the stratus pacs/ imaging share system have been incorrectly associated with another patient's study which may result in the following potential scenarios: 1.A subset of patient study metadata (patient name, mrn, accession number, dob, gender, study procedure) has been updated with another patient's metadata (patient name, mrn, accession number, dob, gender, study procedure).This may result in patient's images being labeled incorrectly with another patient's metadata and associated with the wrong patient record.2.As a result of incorrect image demographics, the mislabeled images may not be associated with the record for the patient that had an imaging study.3.An issued report on a study that is sent to the stratus imaging system via hl7, may get attached to another patient's study.This may result in a report being associated with the incorrect patient study.4.As a result of incorrect report association described above, some patients will have missing reports with no report being displayed in the study.The incorrect association of image and report metadata across imaging studies can occur within your facility or with patient records from another facility.
