Throughout the hospital you will have some stations assigned to specific tasks, based on the equipment attached to them. For example, any stations that radiologists use for reporting have diagnostic monitors. You can set various options for these stations in the Configure area - Stations section. This page lists the tasks required to configure monitors.
 | Tip: To make monitor configuration faster, you can group stations by their related use into a single station container. For example, all stations used for general radiology can go into a Radiology station container. You could also have a grouping of stations for Orthopaedics or for Breast Imaging. When you configure settings for the station container, all stations under it inherit these settings. Refer to Determining how stations should be organized. |
