- | ====Lisabeth’s Guide to Sarcoma Conference==== | ||
- | |||
- | Cases can be prepared on a 1-monitor stand-alone PACS station in the Roosevelt’s Back Reading Room; the one on the right as you walk in the door. | ||
- | |||
- | ====Preparation==== | ||
- | |||
- | *Find “Sarcoma Conference” folder. | ||
- | *Select all current studies in that folder and transfer to Sarcoma Conference archives folder. | ||
- | *Visit “Sarcoma Conference” folder again. | ||
- | *Select all studies in that folder and delete. You now have an empty folder. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Individual Cases=== | ||
- | |||
- | Essential steps to successfully set up later in the 30 minutes UWMC will give you. | ||
- | |||
- | *Go to “All exams”. | ||
- | *Select from the list of patient numbers. | ||
- | *Open up the patient’s records. | ||
- | *Bookmark it the way you want it presented at tumor board. | ||
- | *Useful presentation may mean 3-on-1 with the X-ray or MRI pre and post-contrast; some triptych of images that makes sense in the presentation of the patient. For example: initial x-ray of tumor, MRI of tumor, and CT with lung metastases. (Don’t forget to check for chest CTs!) Bookmark. Save into Sarcoma Conference folder. | ||
- | *Before closing the study, check that you can click on it in the Sarcoma Conference list, and that it appears as desired. | ||
- | *Repeat until all studies are in the Sarcoma Conference folder. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | One of the reason the triptych helps is that you can reference all three easily. | ||
- | |||
- | ===At The Venue=== | ||
- | |||
- | The first time you go, you may need to ask an administrative assistant assist you with turning on the equipment. Walk up to the podium & touch the touch-screen. It will give you a selection. Choose: | ||
- | |||
- | *PC | ||
- | *Rad PC | ||
- | *Projector with multiple options; select “Both” | ||
- | *Login w/ NetID | ||
- | *Open Centricity application | ||
- | *Sequentially open all cases from your Sarcoma Conference folder and navigate through the open exams. | ||
- | *If for some reason the system crashes, you’re saved if your studies were bookmarked beforehand as outlined above. | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | As people arrive and the room fills us, the presenter (the Orthopaedic Oncology Fellow) the Radiologist presents imaging findings, followed by the Pathologist’s findings and then between the multi-disciplinary review the treatment plan is made. | ||
- | |||
- | ===Tips=== | ||
- | |||
- | Pace yourself. You’ll need to cover a number of cases in an hour. Keep descriptions brief. Long, extended differential diagnosis is unnecessary. | ||
- | |||
- | ===How to Get There === | ||
- | |||
- | *Take the 11:15am shuttle labeled “UWMC” arriving at 11:23am. | ||
- | *Cross Pacific Street and enter the hospital at the main entrance (information desk straight ahead). | ||
- | *Turn left and walk past the hospital gift shop. | ||
- | *Turn right just you finish passing the shop and walk down the hallway passing an espresso stand on your left and you’ll be at the Cascade elevators. Landmark: sound sculpture. | ||
- | *Wait for the elevators down to the 1st floor or take the stairs (faster). | ||
- | *On the 1st floor outside the Cascade elevators, turn right through the pair of automatic double doors, veer right and then veer left (not really a choice, luckily) following the twisting corridor, with signs above reading Plaza Café (although you will not go as far). | ||
- | *There will be a right turn and Anatomic Pathology, NE110, will be right in front of you. | ||
- | *Room K is within. If you get lost, call the Secretary Virginia Lore (206.598.2037), or myself (206-598-2982). | ||
- | |||
- | You will have lunch at 1 pm with Kathleen Kelly, (pager: 206-540-8997) of the Radiation Oncology group, whose group attends each Sarcoma Conference, and spend most of the rest of the day with that group. | ||
