This guide shows you how to complete an X-ray, ultrasound, or other diagnostic order in Luvelo, including writing your Technologist note and attaching images so the doctor can review them.
Before you start
The diagnostic order must already be placed on the patient's visit.
Have the images or photos from the exam saved on your computer.
Steps
1. Access the patient's visit
Find the patient from Recent Visits, Visits, or Patient Lookup and click their name.
2. Go to the orders tab
Click the Orders tab and click on '+ Order'.
3. Document the order details
In the next screen, document the order details
4. Click Administer
In the Action column, click Administer next to the order. The Diagnostic Order window opens, showing the patient, exam name, who ordered it, and when it's due.
5. Write your Technologist note and add a note
In the Note box, describe what you performed and anything the doctor should know. This note is required. Attach an image if needed
6. Attach the images
Under Attachment Required, click the + box and select your image file. Wait for the upload to finish. You can add more than one image; click the red trash icon next to an image to remove it.
Note: Some order types require at least one photo. The Administer button stays greyed out until you've entered a note and attached an image.
7. Click Administer, then Yes
A confirmation asks "Are you sure you want to complete this order…?" Click Yes and wait for Saving, please wait to finish. The order disappears from Orders Due.
Other options in the Diagnostic Order window
Save as Draft – you've started the note but aren't ready to complete the order.
Mark as Missed – the exam was not performed (for example, the patient didn't attend).
Confirm that the order was saved
Click the Administration Log tab. The order now appears with Ordered On and Completed On times. Click View to see your note and images; from there you can also Print or Delete a result.
Your completed order now goes to the doctor's Diagnostics Pending Review screen for interpretation and acknowledgement. You don't need to do anything else.
Common issues
Administer button is greyed out: Check that the note box isn't empty and at least one image has finished uploading.
