Set up imaging forms

IMPORTANT    eOrdering should be configured through the eOrdering setup screen available via Contacts > Setup. See Set up Imaging eOrdering or Set up Pathology eOrdering for more information.

This article describes how to create a template to use for imaging requests.

Unlike pathology forms, there is no standard imaging request form. You can assign a single request layout to more than one imaging laboratory.

Create an imaging request layout

1. Select Setup > Preferences > Imaging from the main Bp Premier screen.
2. Select the imaging provider that you wish to set up the layout for and click Change to display the Request layouts screen.



3. Any imaging layouts will appear as well as the default ‘Plain paper’ layout.
4. If the lab requires you to use preprinted stationery and it is not already listed, you will need to create a layout that suits their stationery. Click Add. The Layout details screen will appear.



5. Enter the measurements in mm from the top left corner of the page for each element. Click Save.
6. The new layout name will now appear in the Request layouts screen. Select the new layout name and press Save to update the imaging provider to use this layout.
7. Check that the provider now shows the new layout name under the Format column.
8. You can assign the new layout to any other imaging providers you create.
9. In the Preferred Imaging Provider drop-down list, select the default imaging provider for the logged-in user. The imaging provider selected here will be automatically selected when the user creates an imaging referral from the patient record.
10. Click Save & Close to close the User preferences screen.
