iWorks (Auto Workflow Protocol) G-1
Appendix G iWorks (Auto
Workflow Protocol)
G.1 Overview
The main objective of ultrasound workflow automation (iWorks) is to speed up exam times
and reduce the excessive number of user interface manual key strokes that can lead to
repetitive strain injuries over time. It automates a clinical workflow in common exam protocols
in a logical “step by step” manner. It also prevents missing important parts of examinations as
well as decreasing exam times.
A Protocol Event contains series workflow events (annotation comments, body marks and
measurements.
The system provides different protocol events based on the different application regions.
iWorks is an option.
