Vista Imaging Vista Routing - Manual (Page 18)

Defining Routing Rules Routing User Guide
Each routing rule must contain at least one destination and one condition. When the
conditions in a rule are met, the image is sent to the specified destination.
ƒ The destination specified in a rule must match an entry in either the
NETWORK
LOCATION File (#2005.2) or the DICOM TRANSMIT DESTINATION File (#2006.587).
Routing rule destinations are described in detail on page 12 .
ƒ A condition is a comparison between a general image property and the specific value
associated with a particular image. Conditions are described in detail on page 14 .
Sample Routing Rules
The following pages contain examples of routing rules as they would be entered into the
Route.dic file. For more information about the Route.dic file, see page 44 .
A Simple Routing Rule
A common routing scenario is the transmission of images from a particular modality for
remote interpretation.
Send CR images to Kansas City
send("KANSASCITY")
when MODALITY = "CR"
Rules using Multiple Conditions
If a rule contains more than one condition, all of the conditions must be met for an image
to be routed.
Send CR images produced in Wichita to Kansas City
send("KANSASCITY")
when MODALITY = "CR"
SOURCE = "WICHITA"
Tip: When defining multiple conditions for a rule, list the most restrictive condition first.
Listing the most restrictive condition first will minimize the amount of time needed by
the routing software to process the rule.
