Issue
In a cluster configured to archive to IMPAX Data Center (IDC), studies take days before they arrive at IDC. Enterprise users connecting to IDC to view studies therefore do not get timely access to them.
Details
By default, IMPAX archives to IDC only after studies are reported. While this can be changed, this requires having good quality control procedures in place, to minimize the number of study changes to be managed.
Solution
Introduce Quality Control steps between the RIS, modality, and IMPAX to make sure most studies received have high quality. Also put procedures in place to quickly identify and correct items that are not caught by the Quality Control steps.
Once Quality Control procedures are running smoothly, configure autopilot rules to be more aggressive, so that studies are sent for IDC archiving sooner.
 | CAUTION! This is an unusual configuration, potentially requiring significant amounts of manual reconciliation work. Do not undertake this change lightly. |
To set more aggressive autopilot rules
On the Administration Tools Setup tab, click Autopilot Management.
Switch to the Staging Rules tab.
From the Action list, select Copy to library.
