The Radiology List is every imaging request your hospital has raised: Manage radiology studies and reports for your clinic. It is where a study is scheduled, performed, and finally reported.

​
Before you start

Radiology and Laboratory come from one switch — the Diagnostics care area in Settings → Facility. If the group is missing from your sidebar, that is why; see Care areas. Requests normally arrive from a consultation or a ward chart. Create Report raises one here, for walk-in and referred work that never had a consultation in your system.

​
What you’re looking at

Seven tiles run across the top: Total Studies, Pending, In Progress, Completed, Urgent, Critical and Reports Due. Under them, three priority buttons appear only when they have something to show — Critical Findings, Pending Reports and Urgent Studies, each with a count. A button that is not on screen means that count is zero, which is the answer you wanted. The table shows Patient ID, Patient Name, Study Type, Status, Ordered and Ordered By by default. Accession, Scheduled, Performed, Reported, Technician, Radiologist, Findings, Impression and Payment are available under Toggle columns. Badges follow a strict order of importance: Critical outranks STAT, which outranks Urgent, which outranks the plain status. An empty hospital reads No radiology studies found for this clinic.

​
Move a study through the list

Each row’s menu offers View Study, then the one status action that applies:
1

Schedule Study

Books the study in. The row moves from Pending to Scheduled.
2

Conduct Study

Marks it as being performed. The row shows In progress, which is what tells the requesting ward the patient is at the machine.
3

Complete Study

Marks the acquisition finished. Only now is the study ready to report.
A role without the rights to move a study sees a single disabled item reading Status: {Status} instead — the state is still visible, the action is not.

​
Report the study

1

Open the report

Create Report on a completed study, or Update Report / Revise Report on one already written. The heading reads Create Study Report, Edit Study Report or View Study Report.
2

Write the findings

Findings is required — “Detailed description of what is observed in the study”. Describe what is there, not what it means.
3

Write the impression

Impression is also required — “Clinical interpretation and diagnostic conclusion”. Referring clinicians read the impression first and often only that, so put the answer here rather than leaving it implied by the findings. Recommendations carries any follow-up.
4

Record the technique

Under Technical Details: Technique Used, Image Quality, whether a Contrast agent used, and the Radiation Dose. Dose belongs on the record every time — it is cumulative for the patient across their life.
5

Flag anything critical

Tick This study contains critical findings where they exist. ClinikEHR then reminds you: critical findings “require immediate communication to the ordering physician” — the tick records it, it does not deliver it. Pick up the phone.
6

Save

Save Draft keeps it editable. Complete Report (or Update Report) releases it, confirmed with Report saved successfully.
Download PDF produces the server-generated report — letterhead, patient details, findings, impression and the reporting radiologist’s name and licence — the same document Radiology reports downloads from the station. It is available once the study has been saved, before and after it is completed.
An unreleased report is preliminary and must never leave the building looking final. If a ward needs an urgent read before you can complete it, speak to them directly — do not print or send the draft.

​
Who can do this

Role decides whether the module opens at all — anyone else is told You don’t have permission to access the radiology module. Please contact your clinic administrator. An owner can also hide Radiology from a role under Role navigation. Per-person enforcement is opt-in: someone never saved in the permissions sheet is unrestricted, and the sheet warns “Saving starts enforcing”. A denied action is recorded in the audit log; an allowed one is not. See Staff permissions.

​
Check it worked

  • The row shows Reported, and the Reports Due tile drops by one.
  • Switching on the Findings and Impression columns shows your text.
  • The Radiologist column names you.
  • The requesting clinician sees the report on the patient’s record.

​
Common issues

You can open the study but not write it. Reporting is limited to radiologists and doctors; ask an owner to correct your role under Staff.
The study is not completed yet. Work it through Schedule Study → Conduct Study → Complete Study first; a report on an unperformed study would have nothing behind it.
You reached the report form without a study attached, usually from a stale link. Go back to the list and open the row from its action menu.
They only render when their count is above zero. No Critical Findings button means there are none — which is the good outcome, not a fault.
The status move did not save. Select Refresh and check the current status before trying again — someone else may have moved it.
Either the Diagnostics care area is off, or your hospital is not on the Enterprise plan. See Change your plan.

FAQ

On your own imaging archive. ClinikEHR stores the addresses, and the viewer reads from your equipment — see Modalities. Without the imaging bridge, images are attached by hand.
Yes — Revise Report on the row. The revision is recorded, because the first version has already been read and acted on.
This list is the request queue with its filters and status actions. Radiology reports is the reporting surface, with the study’s images, prior comparisons and the download.
No. It marks the record and reminds you to communicate them. Telling the ordering physician is still a phone call.
Yes — the Diagnostics edition runs the same screens. See Imaging requests.
Two tabs. By Patient (the default) groups every order into one row per patient — how many, their last order date, and the most recent report status — with a search box and a date-range filter; leave the range blank to see a patient’s whole history. Selecting a patient opens their orders for that range as cards (study, modality, findings, impression, report status). All Records is the original one-row-per-order table.
