About Automatic Reconciliation

The NilRead Automatic Reconciliation functionality is a QC feature allowing automatic reconciliation of MRN and other DICOM attributes of outside studies against a site's patient records.

These configuration options have a direct impact on patient safety and can result in hazards such as incorrect diagnosis due to images being associated with the wrong patient or delay in diagnosis due to images not being available in the patient record.

This feature may result in data being ingested into the system which can introduce cybersecurity risks, or contain illegal or inappropriate images.

It is recommended to only use this feature when reconciliation cannot be done effectively by a trained QC technician or when existing VNA or PACS systems (the primary repositories of studies) cannot provide reconciliation capabilities.

Make sure that the provided functionality is well understood and to perform a hazard analysis of the whole system and not only the NilRead automatic reconciliation feature.

For other warnings, please refer to Warnings and precautions, General usage.

Note
This functionality is only available if the automaticReconciliation license is present.
