Build Your Ideal Workspace: Customize Your Columns in Eden PACS
.avif)
As part of the worklist module update, the RIS-PACS system now offers the ability to customize the display of each list through a simple menu that allows columns to be shown, hidden, and dynamically reordered. This feature aims to improve the user experience and adapt to the preferences of each radiologist or operations coordinator.
What It Is
It is a tool built into the worklist configuration menu that offers two main capabilities:
- Selecting which columns are shown and which are hidden, based on the relevance of each role.
- Reordering the columns by dragging them within the same menu, without needing to leave the work screen or resort to advanced settings.
Applied changes take effect immediately and are saved as a user preference, ensuring that the list is always displayed with the same customized layout.
What It's For
Column reordering allows each user to adjust the list interface according to their priorities. It is especially useful for:
- Radiologists who want to see key clinical information first (e.g., priority, institution, modality).
- Coordinators who need to highlight SLA, assignment, or operational status.
- Multisite teams that handle large volumes of studies and require clearer on-screen filters.
- Fast-reading contexts where minimizing navigation steps speeds up interpretation.
How It Affects the Workflow
Previously, the study list had a fixed column structure that did not always meet each user's needs. Now, with this new tool, each radiologist can organize the view according to their own workflow logic, which reduces search time, facilitates study prioritization, and improves individual productivity.
What Changes Compared to Previous Versions
Previously, there was no way to customize the columns directly from the viewer. Changes had to be requested from an administrator or were limited to global settings. With this new feature, the end user has full control and can reorganize their interface immediately and independently.
Implications for the User
The user gains greater control over their work environment, adapting the interface to their specific needs without relying on technical support. This allows each radiologist to work with their own layout, while the institution maintains full traceability of studies.
Final Considerations
Column reordering turns the worklist into a flexible, customized tool that adapts to both individual radiologists and coordinators of large teams. Its use facilitates clinical prioritization, improves visibility of critical data, and optimizes efficiency in study management.
