When operating an IMPAX Reporting system, several parameters on the IMPAX RIS make the integrated system perform optimally for your radiologists and their workflows. For complete details of the IMPAX RIS parameters, including valid values, refer to the RIS-PACS -Reporting with IMPAX Reporting Integration Guide.
Parameters cached on the IMPAX Client require a Client restart after modification and parameters cached on the Application Server require an IIS reset after modification.
 | Note: Nuance SpeechMagic users (radiologists using speech recognition) must be defined in the IMPAX RIS (QManager) and in the Nuance SpeechMagic Administration tool. For more details, refer to the RIS-PACS -Reporting with IMPAX Reporting Integration Guide. |
