Maintain Missing DCMs Window

Use this window to query for missing DCMs and to mark them as Not Expected if appropriate.

Some DCMs marked as Missing may actually not be expected for that particular patient or visit. To prevent Oracle Clinical's giving a DCM a Missing status when it was not expected, mark it Not Expected in the Maintain Missing DCMs window, and add a comment about why you made the change.

You reach this window by selecting Missing DCMs from the Data Entry menu. Follow these steps:

1. Query for missing DCMs.

   Oracle Clinical displays missing DCMs by patient number and then visit number. Scroll to the missing DCM subset you want.

2. Scroll to the right.
3. Uncheck the Expected? box if the DCM is not expected, and add optional comment text.

   Note:

   • You can check a DCM to make it Expected even if you had previously marked it as Unexpected.

   • You cannot update missing DCM information for frozen patient positions.
