When preparing to order an x-ray, which set of filter boxes should you select to limit options?

• A. Diagnostics, Radiology, External Tests
• B. X-Ray, MRI, CT
• C. Labs, Radiology, Imaging Services
• D. Labs, Diagnostic Imaging, IH Diagnostic Imaging

Answer: (D)

You’re testing the idea of narrowing the order options to just what’s needed for an imaging study. To order an x‑ray efficiently, you want the filters that pull up radiology-related orders in the system. The set that includes Labs, Diagnostic Imaging, and IH Diagnostic Imaging is the one that focuses on imaging workflows, bringing up the radiology/x‑ray options without bringing in unrelated categories. The other sets mix in non-imaging areas or other imaging modalities (like MRI or CT) that aren’t part of the x‑ray workflow, which would clutter the choices. So this combination best limits the options to the imaging path you need for an x‑ray.
