Q-Path Tutorial

Getting started

• Q path can be accessed from either home or work

• You need to review your studies to keep track of how many of your required studies you have completed (Dr. Haydel will be reviewing Q path to keep track of your required number)

• New Innovations is NOT sufficient to keep track of your ultrasounds

Before you start recording

• When you start an ultrasound, enter the patient info under the “patient” key

• This key is located to the upper left of the touchpad

• It is very helpful to enter both the name and number of the patient (this helps me with QA)

• See the next slide for the patient screen demo

The Patient Screen

ENTER YOUR LAST NAME IN THE“READING DOCTOR” SPOT. PLEASE ENTER THE NAME OF THE STAFF YOU ARE WORKING WITH UNDER REFERRING DOCTOR. IF THERE IS MORE THAN ONE RESIDENT SCANNING, ENTER THE SECOND RESIDENT ALSO UNDER READING DR

Finishing up

• Once you finishing recording all of your awesome images, go back to the “Patient” tab and hit “End Exam” at the bottom of the screen

• Once you end the exam, Q-path will wirelessly transmit the images to the server

• You are then ready to review

Step One: Go to www.lsuhsc.edu

Click the CLICK THE DESKTOP ICON

Your next screen

ENTER YOUR LOG IN AND PASSWORD THAT YOU USE FOR EPIC AND PRESS LOG ON

The Desktop

SELECT THE “APPLICATIONS” OPTION

The Desktop

SELECT MCLNO-QPATH (DUH)

Next Log InLOG IN NAME IS YOUR LAST NAME (NO FIRST INITIAL) AND PASSWORD IS lsuhsc1

Troubleshooting your Log In

• Depending on if you log in from home or work, you may have another LSU log in prompt (after the applications page)

• You will see a log in box similar to the one that you see when you first start the desktop

• If this happens, log in again with your EPIC /LSU log in

• The next screen should be the one on the previous slide – log in as detailed above

Troubleshooting your Log in

• If you have logged in previously, you may have changed your password

• If you have forgotten your password, there is an option on the log in screen to retrieve or change it (click “forgot your password?”)

• If you can’t change it, please email me and I will help you change it

• You can also login from the citrix app- for you tech savvy people
