Radiology Orders

The AWARDS Medical module Radiology Orders feature is an optional database enhancement that enables users to record and maintain client radiology orders. 

Required Permissions 

Because the Radiology Orders feature is optional, it is not automatically available in all databases.  When requested, it is turned on behind-the-scenes in AWARDS by Foothold Technology for individual programs.  (Contact the Help Desk to provide access to specific programs in your AWARDS database.)  Staff in programs for which the Radiology Orders feature has been turned on must the following permissions in order to use it:

Program Chart Access
Display Any Chart Records Buttons
Display Chart Records Medical Button

  NOTE: Permissions are assigned using the Permissions Maintenance feature.  If you do not have access to that feature and need a permission listed here, please contact your supervisor or your local Help Desk for assistance.
