In Studycast, cases allow you to group studies when they belong to a single pregnancy.
Cases apply to Obstetric, Fetal Echo, and Fetal Non-Stress Test study types, and allow you to:
•Populate the EDD from the previous Obstetric study in the pregnancy
•Plot the EFW and other relevant values from previous studies in a case
•Enable in-worksheet access to the Compare function for studies in a case
Note: The Studycast Advisor prompts you when the study you are working on should be added to a case or used to create a new case. The workflow described below outlines an alternative way to manage cases. To learn more about the Advisor functionality, visit the Studycast Advisor page. To learn more about using the Advisor to manage cases, visit Studycast Advisor for Obstetric. |
On the Studies page, you can add multiple studies for the same patient to a case. Once you have created a case, the case will be available on the patient's current study as a reference.
