Action
Firm sent notification letter to all impacted customer accounts. The letter provided the following instructions for customers to follow until the permanent fix for the issue was deployed: 1) The users should be instructed to look at the date on each exam displayed rather than just the labels assigned to the exam by the system. 2) If this problem is detected in your specific workflows, a system administrator can remove the study category labels (Current/Prior/Baseline)from all overlays on the images/exams. A software code change was deployed to customer sites to correct the issue.
