Privacy First: This extension does not collect, store, or transmit any personal data. It operates entirely within your browser and only facilitates navigation between internal medical systems.
1. Extension Purpose
Thyroid Launcher (Rads) is designed specifically for radiologists using the Synthos PACS system. This extension extracts accession numbers from the Synthos PACS system and automatically opens the corresponding thyroid reporting wizard page, streamlining the radiologist workflow by eliminating manual data entry.
2. Data Collection and Usage
We do not collect, store, or transmit any data.
Specifically, this extension:
Does NOT collect any personal information
Does NOT store any data locally or remotely
Does NOT transmit any information to third-party servers
Does NOT track user behavior or analytics
Does NOT use cookies or similar tracking technologies
3. How the Extension Works
The extension operates entirely within your browser:
When you view an order details page in Synthos PACS, the extension reads the accession number displayed on the page
It uses this accession number to construct a URL for the thyroid wizard
It either opens a new tab or updates an existing thyroid wizard tab with the accession number
No data is retained, stored, or transmitted in this process
4. Permissions Explained
This extension requires specific permissions to function. Here's exactly why each permission is needed:
Scripting Permission
Required to extract the accession number from the Synthos PACS webpage. The extension reads the accession number displayed on the page (within span elements with class 'true-details-block__label') to automatically populate it in the thyroid wizard URL.
Tabs Permission
Required to:
Query existing browser tabs to check if a thyroid wizard tab is already open
Update an existing tab with the new accession number URL if found
Create a new tab if no wizard tab exists
This ensures a seamless single-window workflow.
Host Permissions
Access to two specific domains is required:
https://us.synthos.health/orders/details/* - To read the accession number from the PACS system order details page
https://wizards.highplainsradiology.com/thyroid/* - To open, update, or focus tabs containing the thyroid wizard application
Both domains are essential to the extension's single purpose of transferring accession data between these two internal medical systems.
5. Remote Code
This extension does NOT use any remote code. All functionality is contained within the extension package and executes locally in your browser.
6. Third-Party Services
This extension does not integrate with, communicate with, or transmit data to any third-party services or servers.
7. Data Security
Since no data is collected, stored, or transmitted, there are no data security concerns related to the extension itself. The accession number is read temporarily from one page and used immediately to construct a URL, after which it is not retained in any form.
8. Updates to This Policy
If we make changes to this privacy policy, we will update the "Last Updated" date at the top of this page. Any changes will be reflected in updated versions of the extension.
9. Contact Information
If you have questions about this privacy policy or the extension, please contact your system administrator or the development team at High Plains Radiology Associates.
10. Compliance
This extension is designed for use within a healthcare organization's internal systems. It does not process, store, or transmit Protected Health Information (PHI) and operates solely as a navigation aid between two authorized internal systems.
