Setting accession number in worklist through the web

General

Hi,

This is my first post here. I’m working on a new modality, and we want to build some kind of workflow around the images. One of the things we’d like to use is DICOM Worklists, and we’d like to use Orthanc and its new Worklist plugin for this.

We’ve run into this oddity: When trying to create or edit a Worklist through Orthanc’s web interface (with the new plugin), there seems to be no way to set the accession number. The form that opens does not have a field for it.

Is this the question that was asked in New worklists plugin + OE2 1.10.0 - #2 by Max ? It seems related but not exactly the same.

Thanks!

Hi Shai,

Welcome!

What if you change the OE2 configuration?

I hope this helps,

Thanks! This was a very useful link indeed. I found in that file how to change other things as well.

Hello @shai - we haven’t used OE2 to interact with Orthanc’s worklist plugin, but the Orthanc worklist API worked perfectly for us - our app pulls appointments from our EMR and sends them to the Orthanc worklist and our modalities grab the appointments from the Orthanc worklist. It works really well and our clinic secretaries and technologists love it!

Thanks for the advice – our goal was to have a fast, easy way to create worklist entries, and OE2 (once configured) serves this bill.

That’s good news - out of curiosity, are the appointments scheduled in another system or are you using OE2 for that?

Our main focus is the Modality; the scheduling around it is essentially scaffolding. OE2 gives us a handy entry system, we don’t need much more in this direction at the moment.

FYI, the next OE2 release will have an AccessionNumber field by default pre-filled with YYMMDDhhmmss (ref commit)
