What's the Difference?
Collections allow you to organize patients into logical cohorts that share similar prescriptions, dosimetric goals, or other common characteristics. Collections let you build population scorecards and population DVHs to assess performance across many patient plans. These collections can be defined at the level of a single workspace, or they can span across several workspaces.
A collection that is defined at the level of a single workspace is called a workspace collection. Only patients belonging to a given workspace can be added to a workspace collection for that workspace. If you only have one organization or you only need to analyze population statistics across a single workspace, a workspace collection will be able to meet your needs.
Sometimes, however, you may wish to analyze population statistics across several workspaces. A collection defined at the organization level that can have representations in many workspaces is called an organization collection. An organization collection can be configured with as many workspaces as you wish, and any patient from one of those workspaces may be added to the collection.
