Share Studies / CoreShare

See this article in Studycast Help

Studycast CoreShareTM is an easy way to send colleagues or patients a message with a secure link to view studies even if they do not have access to the Studycast system. The link can be sent by email or text message (SMS). When recipients click the link in the message they receive, they will be required to enter a passphrase to view the study.

If you do not have access to CoreShare, ask your administrator to add the download archive/share study permission to your username. Once you have this permission, you can share studies from the Studies page.

To share studies:

Click the check box next to each study you want to share.

1.Click the down arrow at the top of the check box column. In the menu that opens, select Share.
 

2.In the Share studies window, enter the necessary information.

•Recipients: For each recipient, enter the email or phone number and click the green plus button to add. If you want to remove a recipient, click the red minus button next to that recipient.

•Passphrase: To maintain the security and confidentiality of the studies, a passphrase is required. Enter any passphrase you want to use. The passphrase will not be included in the message. You will need to communicate the passphrase to recipients separately outside of the Studycast system.

•Description: Enter a short description of the studies.

•Expiration time: As a security measure, the link sent to the recipients will expire after the time specified. After that time, recipients will no longer be able to use the link to view the studies. Select the expiration time from the drop-down list. Each time you open CoreShare, it will display the expiration time you previously selected.

▪Anonymize data: Check the box to anonymize study data.

Note: This option does not affect patient data displayed within study images. To anonymize the study completely, you must mask patient information in the images with annotations first. Be sure the Include as permanent burn-in box is checked.

•Select items: Click the button to open the Select Study Items for Sharing window. When the window opens, click the bar for each patient to select items.

 

Recipients will be able to view all items selected in this window. By default, the box for Include report is checked. Uncheck the box to send images without the report. All images are selected by default. Click each image you want to exclude. Excluded images are covered with a large X.
 
If you selected multiple studies, click the bar for each study to select items.
 
When you are done selecting images, click OK. The Select Study Images for Sharing window closes.

4.In the Share studies window, click Share to send the message.
