DBIA118-D    ICR (996)

These look fine for the current field version (4.0) of
Radiology.  There are a few cautions for you when we release Radiology/Nuclear
Medicine Version 4.5.  These things may have no affect on you whatsoever, but
you need to know so you can make your own judgement:
a)  Currently the exam statuses (file 72) each can be used for any
exam regardless of imaging type.  In Version 4.5, exam statuses
will be specific to imaging type.  We are adding the basic statuses
(WAITING FOR EXAM, CALLED FOR EXAM, EXAMINED, CANCELLED, COMPLETE)
to this file for each of the 8 imaging types.  (i.e. there will be an
EXAMINED status for General Radiology, an EXAMINED status for
Nuclear Med, an EXAMINED status for Ultrasound , etc..  so that
each imaging department can set up their exam status parameters
differently.)
b)  Because of item a above, the 'B' cross-reference on file 72
becomes much less meaningful - there will now be 8 instances of
each of the basis exam statuses.  This may affect the proposed DBIA.
Since the sites can add their own site-specific statuses, it's
possible to have many instances of any status.  So, the 'B' x-ref no
longer represents a unique status name.
