Workflowoptimization ICAT-DOLPHIN

I hear so much that dolphin and icat are an optimal combination but untill now, we have the following stone age workflow: I-cat acquisition computer sends XORANFILES TO SEPERATE ICAT-SERVER. Than each scan has to be manually exported with icat vision transfer to a DICOM-FOLDER. Then we must again manually import the DICOMFILE INTO DOLPHIN.In my opinion this could l be vastly improved with small software measurements (scipting) like: When new patient is entered


1) The PraxisManagementSystem sends automatically PATIENT DATA TO ICAT-ACQUISITION COMPUTER AND DOLPHIN SERVER (only possibility to have congruent data)

2)WHEN XORAN FILES ARRIVE AT ICATSERVER, THEY ARE AUTOMATICALLY
2a) SAVED AS XORAN FILES and
2b) EXPORTED AS DICOM FILES DIRECTLY TO THE DOLPHIN SERVER

As I have the impression, that dolphinimaging and imaging sciences are completely insensitive to this workflow problem which slows our office I would very much appreciate if somebody can help with some suggestions.

Disclaimer on reports

At the Spring Seminar one of our speakers suggested that we include a disclaimer on our printed reports stating that the report contained only a sample of the information available and that the full volume should be reviewed by a qualified radiologist. Has anyone done this? If so, can you give us a sample of your wording?
