AdvaPACS is rolled out gradually, so not every organization sees a release at the same time. This release begins rolling out on September 8, 2026 and may take a few days to reach you — if you don't see these changes right away, check back shortly.
Order Date has always tracked the Study Date automatically. Some workflows need the two to stay independent — for example, when a study happens well before or after the order was originally placed. A new setting lets administrators turn this automatic syncing off for sites where the two dates need to be managed separately.
When a patient identifier arrives without a recognized issuing authority, AdvaPACS now keeps that issuer information rather than discarding it. This reduces the chance of mismatched or duplicate patient records when working with identifiers from less common or unconfigured sources.
The "Due In" column now also shows total duration alongside the existing countdown, so staff can see turnaround time at a glance without opening the order — no setup required.
Where a modality includes ordering provider details in its DICOM metadata, AdvaPACS now captures that information automatically instead of relying on it being entered manually elsewhere, improving the accuracy of orders and reports.
The Reporting Worklist now supports sorting by more than one column at a time, so you can, for example, sort by priority and then by due date without losing the first sort. Sort priority follows the order in which columns are selected.
Restart handling for the AdvaPACS Gateway has been made more resilient, reducing connectivity gaps and the chance a restart needs manual follow-up. No action is needed on your part.
