[Intl_DxMedPhys] Epic radiation dose hard stop

[Douglas Pfeiffer]

Good afternoon, all Epic users. (Well, good afternoon to everyone else, too, but if you don’t use Epic, you can move on.)

For some unknown reason, in the last hour Epic has started putting a hard stop on a screen to enter patient dose for at least some exams (one ped head x-ray and one CT that I’ve been told about so far). It also lists an acceptable dose range, and the max values are ridiculously small. Has anyone else encountered this? We did not ask for it and we weren’t consulted about it. We have IT tickets in, but nothing will be solved until tomorrow at the earliest. Lovely way to start the week!

Best regards,
Doug
