Quick Guide - Reader

As a project Reader, you will likely work from the project tasklist or possible the pipeline, and mainly use the platform image viewer and the eCRF tool. This guides aims to acquaint you with these tools and the typical Reader workflow.

The Reader role is a given role in any project where image review is included. The Reader might be assigned to one or several events in the pipeline. The Reader is typically not involved in the project setup and management.

This page is intended for Readers with an existing CM Platform account. For readers having received a platform invitation email but have yet to set up their account, please refer to the page Quick Guide  - Invitation.

Reader Workflow

1. Navigate to the repository by pressing the drop-down in the upper-right corner
2. Within the repository, navigate to the project - if you are involved in several projects in the repository, you might see multiple projects listed

3. Getting to Your Task..

   1.  

      .. from the Tasklist

      1. Once you have entered the project, navigate to the tasklist in the left toolbar  (for more details about the tasklist, please refer to this page) - for a collected view of all tasks over multiple projects, you can also use the tasklist shown on repository level
      2. All project tasks that you have been assigned are shown in your tasklist. Press "Run event" to start working on the task.
         
         

          

   2. .. from the Pipeline

      1. The project might be configured so that you as a reader also can view and work from the project pipeline. From the pipeline view, you can get an overview of all events that are to be completed, including ones assigned to other roles. It is also possible to complete tasks in non-chronological order, as long as the data input to the task has been uploaded previously.
      2. To find your task in the pipeline view, once you have entered the project, navigate to the pipeline in the left toolbar (for more details about the pipeline, please refer to this page)
      3. Hover over the event boxes for your intended subject to find the event that you want to run, press the event and then "Run"
         
         

          

    

4. Navigating a Typical Reader Task

   1. In this example, we are starting a typical Reader task, which is reviewing DICOMs and filling out a eCRF. Having entered the task, you will be presented with a view similar to the below. Here, you can see a Databrowser module, containing a previously uploaded DICOM study and a previously filled in eCRF for viewing. By pressing the "Expand Study/Form" buttons, you can view all series of the study as well as the complete form, as shown below. Under the Databrowser you can find another, not yet completed eCRF "Emblas Test Form", to be completed in the current task by inspection of the DICOM studies.
      
      
   2. The next step is to open the viewer to inspect the DICOM studies and to fill out the eCRF. By opening the viewer and the eCRF in separate windows, you can work with them side-by-side, as shown below. The task is completed by pressing "Sign" in the rightmost corner and leaving a comment. Once the task is signed, one of two things will happen:
      1. If you are working from the tasklist, you will be redirected to the tasklist. There you can navigate to "Completed tasks" to confirm

1. 1. 1. If you are working from the pipeline view, you will be redirected to the pipeline view, where you can confirm that the task is completed by seeing that the event has changed from not run to completed
