REASON
Under certain conditions, when using the Search functionality, the potential exists for the wrong patient’s Interactive Documents to display when viewing a signed report in the single patient view. This can occur when the Interactive Document is viewed or auto displayed, dismissed by the user, and then a different patient and signed exam is selected in single patient view. The Notes Viewer will display Interactive Document notes for the previously selected patient. The problem is when a signed report is selected, the internal list of selected exams is not being reset. The potential for a safety issue occurs when the Radiologist selects a signed report for a patient and then selects a signed report for a different patient. If the Radiologist is performing an addend on the second signed report and bases the addend on information from the incorrect note, this could then contribute to an incorrect diagnosis if this is not recognized by the Radiologist. Furthermore, if the Radiologist creates and saves a new note, the note could be saved against the previously selected patient
