IMAGING Washington/Silver Spring 
Reading of this file is needed to produce a modality
worklist from all active Radiology orders.  A worklist can be provided by
specific modality.  Each radiology order request has a RAD/NUC MED PROCEDURE
defined and each of these procedures may have one or more modality defined.
It is possible for a procedure to be performed on more than one modality
(radiology equipment).  In addition, we are requesting permission to read the
"B" cross reference to match the modality code sent by a query during the
testing of the worklist. The query is performed using the modality defined
term, i.e., XA, DR, etc.


Imaging is requesting direct reads to these global. Our experience in
processing large volume of images (example: a CT request can be 500+ images
and an image is processes in less than a second) is that using direct reads
gives us a better system response time than a FM read.
