BAT

Summary

This enhancement to BAT enhances the BAT Tool to support creating a job to transmit a RADAR message populated with clinical information from the RIS database. This allows the creation of BAT scripts to perform actions such as sending a patient status updates at different intervals upon changes to exam status, changes to scheduled start time or other database fields.

Background

Previously, the system did not support sending on-demand patient notifications to alert them of information regarding their appointment.

Feature Description

With this change, a new RadarMessage asynchronous job handler has been introduced to manage on-demand RADAR message transmission. Notably, these messages are governed by SQL rather than hard-coded events, allowing the RIS BAT Tool to introduce advanced RIS workflows without requiring source code changes.

Some examples of BAT scripts that can now be implemented:

·         Send SMS alerts 30 minutes and 10 minutes before an appointment.

·         Send a SMS alert when an existing study has been rescheduled.

·         Send a SMS alert 24 hours after a missed appointment.
