 Centricity Cardiology CV Web: Find a Patient Report

Find a Patient Report

1. Select one or more servers from the list of servers. A maximum of five
servers can be queried at any one time.

click Search. (Patient ID on the Image Vault are case sensitive.)
u To query by patient name enter the patient’s last name in the
appropriate field and click the Search button.
u If you are unsure of the spelling of the patient’s name, enter
either a full or partial last name and click the Search button. For
example, if you are searching for a patient whose last name

a single patient (i.e. you have queried multiple servers which
have assigned the same ID to different patients) the Patient List
window is displayed. All the patients which have the patient ID
are listed with the following message at the top of the window:

*** Patient ID conflict detected between selected search locations.

Please select the correct patient. ***

Go to “Patient List window” on page 5.

If this patient ID conflict message appears, please notify the

system owners of the conflict.
