Gram stain

Culture tests often include a preliminary Gram stain at the time of plating to determine if the organism is Gram positive or Gram negative. You can record the results of the Gram stain as part of the culture test using the correct result type.

Result Setup Form

Culture tests often include a preliminary Gram stain at the time of plating to determine if the organism is Gram positive or Gram negative. You can record the results of the Gram stain as part of the culture test using the correct result type.

Result Entry Form

Just like all other tests, you must include components on the Result Entry form. The typical components for culture tests are Culture and Gram Stain Result. These components work with the tabs of Result Entry (specified by a result type).

Reflex/Addl Charge

What action do we want to happen?

Result Checking

What criteria should trigger the action?

Task Action Mapping Form

•Prior to adding a task in the Specialty Testing form of a culture test record, the task needs to first be added to the category list LDF 51360. The task can then be defined in the Task Action Mapping form of the Facility record. This form controls the implications of completing tasks in the Setup Bench. For each task entered, you can specify the system action that occurs when the task is completed. The Action field represents an automatic system action to be created. Similarly, the Parameter field designates the type of container to be created. Charge codes can also be associated with each task.

Reporting Parts of Hematology test: Result Energy

•Recall that when a CBC is resulted in ________, there is a Modify button that allows users to specify which of these parts to report. The setup on the Specialty Testing form determines the options here.

Reflex Action

•Reflex action sets let you define the automatic system actions that are taken in response to particular results for a test or other conditions.

Cascading Rules

: •Used to alter default reporting based on unique susceptibility test results

Can you use a questionnaire if its not marked as released?

A questionnaire may only be used if it is marked as released. Once a questionnaire is marked as released, that contact should not be modified. Since patient data may already use a released version of a questionnaire, you must create a new contact of the questionnaire if you need to make changes. This allows existing patient data to use the historical contact and new patient data to use the new, revised contact.

Questionnaire Editor, Lab Order Questionnaire,

After you have built each individual question, you group them together in a questionnaire using the __________. While there are several types of questionnaires in Epic, use ___________ in Beaker in order to be able to link it to a lab order. You may also need to configure Lab Submitter Questionnaires. These types allow you to link your questionnaire to your test.

Step one: creating keyboard mapping

Create a keybaord map using Report builder •First, you need to create your keyboard map, which maps components to specific keys on the keyboard. This is done in Report Builder, using a preconfigured template: Lab Key Mapper Settings Template [51013]. •When you build maps, you must list the particular tests the map can be used for in the Allowed Tests field. In the lower portion of the screen, you map keys to specific actions and components. •The numeric keypad can also be used for mapping. Select the NumPad check box if you want to use the numeric keypad. •Only components that have been listed on the Result Entry form of the test record may be entered in the Keyboard Mapper for that particular test.

Specialty testing form

Depending on the type of test you are building, the options available on the________ form will vary. For hematology tests, this form allows administrators to configure which parts of tests should be reported to the patient's chart, as well as the system's behavior depending on the number of cells the hematologist counted.

Questionnaire Editor Form

In the Questionnaire Editor, enter the questions that should appear to end users in the Questions field. Questions appear on the questionnaire in the order you enter them here.

•You can make mnemonics very specific so that they can only be used for a particular result on one test, or you can create more general mnemonics to be used for entering the results of multiple tests. Additionally, more than one mnemonic can be used for a test to cover different combinations of common results •You can also create a mnemonic that the system automatically applies when a test is received, added on, or added using a reflex action. This ability is useful when your lab always records a comment for a certain test result. •Mnemonics can also apply comments to a test. You might always include instructions with a culture test that the clinician should contact your lab within forty-eight hours if additional serotyping is needed. You can set up a mnemonic that automatically applies this comment to the culture test result when the culture test is received. When the result is automatically edited by the mnemonic, the test's status does not change to Resulted. This prevents the test from being incorrectly verified.

Mnemonic Function

Susceptibility Test

Once culture is identified, culture is exposed to multiple antibiotics to determine which will be most effective in killing bacteria

Culture

Recall from Beaker Fundamentals that a culture test can be used in the laboratory to track the steps taken to identify an organism or multiple organisms contained in a specimen. It is typically combined with stain and susceptibility tests to identify the organism and any antibiotics effective against the organism.

How Result Types Affect Result Entry

Result type controls a number of settings available when the test is taken into Result Entry, including available items and whether end users have the ability to enter test-level comments (both internal and external). Result Types are stored in the OVG master file and can be reused for multiple tests.

Verification Form

The majority of culture tests should allow preliminary verification. You may also opt to have certain tests require user authentication to be verified, and that setup is done on this form. Settings controlling the use of autoverification can be found here as well.

Can you link a question directly to a test?

The question cannot be linked directly to a test. It must be attached to a questionnaire.

Configure a Mnemonic: Edit Record for Future Contract

Using contacts, you can edit a record to make a change that will take effect at a future date. This section uses a mnemonic as an example.

Why it's important to report out parts of a CBC

•The Keyboard Listening feature is meant to speed up result entry for your end-users. Therefore, consider creating different keyboard maps for right- and left-handed users.

Why keyboard listening is useful:

•Keyboard listening, report builder

__________ a tool that can be used when resulting component-based tests, such as hematology tests that involve manual differentials. It allows you to define keys on a keyboard that perform specified actions, such as increasing or decreasing the count of a particular cell type. •Setting up Keyboard Listening Requires what two steps ◦1: create a keyboard map using __________ ◦2: Associate it with tests within result entry report settings

Associate the Keyboard map with tests: Orderable, Performable, Test Record, Actions>Views>Settings,

___________: In order to enable your test for keyboard mapping in Result Entry, you must specify what keyboard map is associated with each test. This is accomplished in the report settings window for Result Entry. •To test out a new map, you must first order, collect, and receive the appropriate CBC. •Which Record should you order to test your build? ________ •Which Record is the collection activity looking to? _________ •On the outstanding list, which record is the system looking to here? __________ •How do you access the report settings windows? _____________

Result Entry Actions Table, Result Entry Actions table , •Do not Select, Select to view, Select and Edit

_________________: •Like you saw in Beaker CP Fundamentals, a manual differential can be added on to a CBC automatically. However, your lab techs should be able to add a manual differential when they click Add a Manual Differential on the Result Editor toolbar. •Add a Manual Differential from the middle toolbar of Result Entry •In order for this button to appear for lab techs, you must fill out the ___________at the bottom of the Result Entry form. This table is used for tests other than hematology. •You can decide how the system behaves when users click a button on the main toolbar. _________keep focus on the test you currently have selected in the tree •__________ select the result node of newly added test and keep result entry in view mode •_____________select the result node of newly added test and take it into edit mode

Result Entry Tab

_________of the Components section is where you link out to existing result component records. Result components may be linked to more than one test. The Report Type field allows you to designate if a component will be reported back to the patient's chart. •The Methods section is where you list which methods can perform the test. •Default value of report type is to report to the patient's chart

Keyboard Listening

a tool that can be used when resulting component-based tests, such as hematology tests that involve manual differentials. It allows you to define keys on a keyboard that perform specified actions, such as increasing or decreasing the count of a particular cell type.

Name override field of Result entry tab

allows you to reconfigure how the component name will appear in Result Entry for this test. If you leave this column blank, the name of the record will be used (which •defaults to all caps).

•Action sets

are created and defined in the Reflex Actions section. The ______ field allows you to name your action set. You refer to this name later on the Result Checking form. Note that this field is free text and does not appear to end users.

Charge Trigger Context Field

controls when the charge (listed in the Primary charges section) should be sent to the Charge Router for processing.

•Reflex action sets

let you define the automatic system actions that are taken in response to particular results for a test or other conditions. The conditions that trigger an action set are configured on the Result Checking form.

Accessioning Logic Tab

• allows you to configure much of what happens regarding specimen accessioning and collection, most notably container type, temperature, container sharing, and automatic aliquot creation. •When you select a container in the Collection containers with common settings table, the accessioning logic defined in the column at the right pertains to all containers listed in that table. When you select a container in the bottom table (Collection containers with exceptions), the accessioning logic defined in the right column is specific to the selected container. •In order for this test to accession into your lab, the default specimen type listed in the linked procedure record must be on the list of supported specimen types in the container type record for the container.

The Reflex/Addl Charges

• form allows you to configure reflex actions and additional charges for tests. This form is used in conjunction with the Result Checking form. •You must complete the setup on this form in order to enter values on the Result Checking form.

Question Editor

• where you build the questions that appear in questionnaires. While there are many types of questions in Epic, the type to use in Beaker is the Form Question. •Each question you create is a record in the Question (LQL) master file. When you create and edit questions, you enter specific information such as the question's name, abbreviation, and response type.

Result Setup Form:

• where you define the Result Entry properties for the test, including allowed methods (how it will be tested, such as a particular instrument), result components for the test, and what Result Entry actions are available, such as adding another test. •Most of the time EHS Component Based

What is the difference between making a question required in the question record and the logic that is set up here in the test record?

•A question marked as required in the question record simply must be answered, with any answer, before collection is allowed. Questions evaluated in the lower grid of the Questionnaires Setup form of the test record can trigger actions based on the specific answer given. •The linking occurs on the Questionnaires Setup form of the test record. •This form also allows you to set up specific logic for the individual questions contained in the questionnaires. This logic is based on the response given to a specific question and triggers an action in the form of an extension. Common actions include displaying a warning or preventing collection.

Questionnaire Editor

•After you have built each individual question, you group them together in a questionnaire using the ___________ While there are several types of questionnaires in Epic, use Lab Order Questionnaire in Beaker in order to be able to link it to a lab order. You may also need to configure Lab Submitter Questionnaires. These types allow you to link your questionnaire to your test. •Each questionnaire is a record in the Questionnaires, Images, Forms (LQF) master file.

Result Checking Form

•As you did in the result component record, you can use the __________to specify result checking conditions that help you determine the validity and abnormality of results. The same parameters that you saw in the component record can also be found at the top of this form •The options available in the Setup section of this form depend on the settings you make on the Reflex/Addl Charges form

Container sharing

•Both specimens must have the same specimen source when ordered. •The tests ordered for the patient must have the same collection container specified in their accessioning logic. •There must be an appropriate level of sharing entered in the Container sharing field of both tests. •The sum of the minimum volumes required for both tests must be less than the tube volume specified in the container record.

Preference Rules:

•Control Reporting For Normal Circumstance Reporting

Configuring a Mnemonic

•Decide which items you want filled in when you enter the mnemonic in Result Entry. These items and their respective values should be entered in the grid. For instance, for a line-item mnemonic that is filling in values for a culture, you may want to fill in an organism, quantity, and report flag.

Where will the Test be Resulted?

•Department > location > facility •When a user collects a specimen, the system evaluates settings in both the department record and the test record to determine which lab will perform the test. This information is needed to assign the correct specimen ID and anticipate where the specimen will ultimately be sent and resulted. Recall that lab abbreviation and section code are pieces of the specimen ID that will be generated.

auto differential, manual differential

•For a CBC with ___________ the main part (hemogram) will always be reported. Users can then choose whether to report the auto differential by selecting the Auto or No Diff option. To enable this feature, you need to configure the Allowed parts field in the CBC test records. •For a , ____________ the user can choose between the Manual and No Diff options. If the manual diff is reported to the chart and the auto diff is suppressed, the other CBC components (Hemogram) are still reported with the manual diff.

Lab Accessioning Rules

•If the lab is listed in the test record, the test accessions into (will be resulted in) that lab. •If the lab is not listed in the test record, the next laboratory in the department record is consulted, and so on. •If no match is found from the department record, the same process is continued using the same table in location record. •If no match is found from the location record, the same process is continued using the facility record. •If no match is found in the facility record, the order cannot be accessioned. •The order of the laboratories is ONLY relevant in the department, location, and facility records THIS IS IMPORTANT

lab order questionnaires, lab order questions

•In Beaker you can link questionnaires (groups of questions) to your tests. These ________________ and form questions are created using the same tools available in EpicCare Inpatient and EpicCare Ambulatory. They differ slightly, however, from questions in these two applications in that they are specimen- or test-specific.___________can be presented in the Collection, Order Inquiry, and Specimen Receiving activities.

Slide Review

•In addition to sending out results for a specific differential, users can select _______to report the cell morphology results. •On the manual differential test record, the allowed parts are generally the manual differential and the slide review.

Result Report tab

•In the Component Order list found on this tab, specify the order in which you want the test's components to appear on result reports. •The order you list result components on the Result Entry tab defaults in. Use the arrows at the far right or click and drag components to rearrange.

Setting up Workcard Action Records: result components (LRR)

•In the Components section of the General Setup form, list the __________ to include in the workcard action. When this workcard action is triggered, the components entered here will appear in the workup. •After you enter a component in the Components table, a column for that specific component appears in the Logic Setup table below. This table allows you to configure the specific criteria for the component or components listed in the workcard that should trigger further actions.

Overwrite Type field, Append, Prepend

•In the ___________, you control how the mnemonic should behave if it is applied after a user has already entered results. It can overwrite what the user already entered or ignore the mnemonic's instructions. For category components, you can choose Overwrite or Non-overwrite. The latter is the safer choice. •Free-text components have these choices but allow two other options: Append and Prepend. _________ means when the mnemonic is applied, text in the mnemonic is added after results already entered in that component. ________means that the mnemonic's text will be positioned before existing result text. •You've already set up component-level values, which required you to fill out the first two columns to indicate which component the value should be added to. Now, you'll configure a test-level comment (a comment associated with the test as a whole, not an individual component).

Charges/Holds Setup Form

•Like with other tests, you can link this test to a chargeable procedure to trigger a charge. However, unlike general chemistry tests, microbiology tests often trigger a charge when they are received, rather than when they are final verified. Charge trigger context allows you to specify that this test should drop a charge when it is received. •You may also link one charge with the entire test record, and/or have unique charges triggered for certain staining and plating tasks.

Charges/Holds Setup Form

•Linking the chargeable directly within the test record carries a number of benefits for the lab team at your organization, including the following: •More control over when the charges are sent to the Charge Router •Performing lab and specimen information included with charges •Additional billing and reflex actions for complex situations based on patient, result, or test criteria •Increased efficiency tracking charges and lab revenue •Improved metrics for the lab (lab gets credit for the charge for revenue reporting) •Centralized control of lab billing in lab administrators not the billing department •In the procedure lesson, you saw that we turn off ordering charges in the procedure category for several order classes. This is because we link our test (OVT) records to chargeable procedures for two purposes: •To make sure Advance Beneficiary Notice (ABN) information is displayed properly. To make sure the right charges trigger in the lab at the right time.

Options for container sharing

•No sharing: Containers for this test cannot be shared. This is the default setting. •Among sections in lab: Containers can be shared with other tests among different sections within a laboratory. •Among section codes in section: Containers can be shared with other tests among different section codes within a section. •Within section code only: Containers can be shared with other tests within a particular section code. •Across labs: Containers can be shared between separate performing labs

Result Checking Form

•On the Reflex/Addl Charges form, you told the system what you want it to do, but you have not told it under which conditions you want it done. Configuring the conditions that should trigger your action set is completed on the ________

The difference between conditions and components, including the logic used when evaluating multiple conditions and/or components

•Once you selected a type of checking, you configured Condition 1. When condition 1 is true, your action set triggers. For your test, the reflex action set is triggered if the result of your component was reactive. This simple scenario required only one condition. •If there is more than one condition listed in the Condition table, OR logic is used, meaning that the reflex action is triggered if any one of the conditions evaluate to true. •The Component table, however, uses AND logic. If you have more than one component listed within a single condition, each component must match the specified values to trigger the reflex action set. •AND: one component with multiple conditions - they all have to be true to trigger •OR: many components with one condition - any one of them can trigger

Test Record

•Tests are a fundamental part of Beaker because they determine how specimens in the laboratory are processed. Each test you create is a test record in the Test (OVT) master file. The test record stores information such as the test's synonyms, the result type for the test, the test's components, which laboratories and sections can perform the test, and much more. •Test records are the organizational hub of all the records Beaker needs to support end user workflows. In each test record, you will link to the components and the procedures that you already built, as well as other important information, like chargeable procedures, containers for collecting specimens, and performing labs.

Additional Setup Form

•The Additional Setup form is where the test is linked to a procedure. It also lets you list a turnaround time specific to the test or a default number of days to keep the specimen before marking it as disposed. Procedures linked to test field: •If you don't enter a procedure here, end users will receive an error when they try to print labels! •A single test can be linked to multiple procedures. In other words, multiple orderable/performable or performable-only procedures can point to the same test. You cannot, however, link a procedure to more than one individual test.

Setting up workcard actions: organism

•The fields in the bottom table allow you to configure the action that this workcard should take. Enter another workcard action in the Next Action field or an organism in the Organism field. •Note that Line 1 in the upper part of the Logic Setup table corresponds to Line 1 in the pane below. Thus, for each outcome that you define for the components, you can define one line with an action. •Whenever this _________ is identified, a pop-up window will appear to the end user with standard text: "<Organism> has been identified. Please review." You can also add a comment to accompany this standard text. To do so, click the icon in the C column to open the Comments window.

Creating a Mnemonic Setup table/Configuring a mnemonic

•The table in the lower half of the screen lets you define the results applied by the mnemonic. Think of each row in the table as an instruction that tells the system where to add a particular result. •The first part of the mnemonic's instruction (the first Item and Value fields in the "On the line containing" section) identifies the item the mnemonic should look for to enter default information. Typically, this looks to a particular component on the test. •The second part of the table tells the mnemonic exactly what information to enter in that component and where. The options can change here depending on whether the component is free-text or category based:

Manual Differential, Verification Setup

•There are several result types available in Foundation System that match the formatting needs for hematology and cell count tests. The one chosen for your test is set up to have the __________ resulted as a separate test. This allows a manual differential to be added on as a separate test when needed, instead of always appearing on the ordered test. •The _____________ form in the test record contains several of the same settings as the forms in the facility and laboratory records. Unique to this form in the test record, however, is the Allow preliminary verification check box, which must be selected if you want users to be able to preliminarily verify results.

Allow, Warn and Allow, Do Not Allow

•There are three options for which action to perform when the defined number has been reached: •_______ The user is not warned when the number of cells to count is reached. •_________The user sees a warning window appear when the number of cells to count has been reached. The window allows them to choose to continue counting cells or to stop. •_________A window appears to alert the user when the number of cells to count has been reached and the user is not allowed to continue counting. •These fields are inactive here in the auto differential - they are configured in the manual differential OVT record.

Test Accessioning

•This system determines where a test should be accessioned in two steps: ◦Beaker first checks the Accession Into Labs in the Following Order table in the department record where the user is logged in to see which laboratories are available for accessioning. ◦Often, the laboratory linked to that department (if applicable) is listed first. ◦Beaker then checks the Accessioning Setup form of the test record to see if the first laboratory listed in the department record is listed there as well. The order of the labs in the test record does not matter.

Hemo Keyboard Mapping

•What options do you see to report for the cbc and auto dif? ◦Hemogram (selected by default) And auto dif (can turn on and off) ◦Hemogram is the main part of the test and the auto dif is an allowed part this is set in the Test Record •Where are you taken in the system when you manually add a Manual Diff? Is the test editable? ◦You're taken into the Manual Diff test and it is editable ◦In the Result Entry Actions table of the test record, you add the + Manual Diff button and define it's behavior (select and edit)

•When configuring a mnemonic to have test-level comments, is there a need to fill in the first two columns of the setup table.

•When configuring a mnemonic to have test-level comments, there is no need to fill in the first two columns of the setup table.

Reflex/Addl Charge

•When you create an action set, the upper-middle pane activates and you can define its specific action. The options are: Repeat the test, Order a different test, Fire a mnemonic (e.g., add a comment to a result), Send an In Basket message, Execute an extension, Display a message (in the form of a pop-up), None •Depending on the options that you select, different fields become active in the upper-right pane, allowing you to further define the reflex action. •A checkmark appears in the OK column in each section of the form when all of the required setup for the selected row is complete. If required setup is missing, a red stop sign appears in the OK column.

◦After Result Entered, Before Verification (verification should be prevented by this action set), This can be configured for preliminary verification, final verification, or both. ◦During Verification (i.e. verification should be allowed to proceed before the action set is carried out) This can be configured for preliminary verification, final verification, or both. •The default value is After Result Entered. This is appropriate for the scenario, so leave the Event field blank. •The first time an action set is triggered, the action in line 1 is taken. The second time that same action set is triggered, the action in line 2 is taken, and so on. The last action in the list will be repeated if the action set continues to be triggered more times than the number of listed actions.

•You can also specify exactly when the action should be taken in the Event field. The options are:

Cell Count

•You can define how many cells are counted in a manual differential and what event will occur when that amount is reached, such as whether or not the user can continue counting cells. The Cell count rules item allows you to set a default number of cells to count as well as configure the number of cells to count based on the white blood cell count from the hemogram, a rule (e.g. patient diagnosed with leukemia), or a combination of both.

The importance of listing the same result type in the mnemonic as the result type of the test for which it will be used

•You must enter the same result type in the mnemonic record that was entered in the test records for which this mnemonic will be used. You will not be able to enter a test in the field if its result type does not match the result type of the mnemonic.

Free Text Components, Category Components

•__________Choose Component Rich text Value Pointer, which allows you to enter text in the Value field or enter a SmartText. •______________Choose Component Value to enter an appropriate value in the adjacent field, Component Multiline Value Pointer for Multi Category components, or choose Component Multiline User Comment Pointer to enter a comment for the component, which is the equivalent of clicking the paper icon when resulting tests.

Question Editor, Form Question, Question LQL Masterfile

•_________where you build the questions that appear in questionnaires. While there are many types of questions in Epic, the type to use in Beaker is the ________ •Each question you create is a record in the _________master file. When you create and edit questions, you enter specific information such as the question's name, abbreviation, and response type.

Specialty Testing Form

•allows you to define what tasks users will see in the Setup Bench for this test. Tasks can be set up to appear by default or be added manually. •The Task list table defines the tasks that automatically appear for the test in the Setup Bench. The tasks are values on a category list and can be configured to trigger charges. •You may allow users to add additional tasks in the Setup Bench by selecting the Allow additional tasks check box. The task(s) you enter in the Limit additional tasks to field will be the only one(s) a user will be able to choose from. If you choose to allow additional tasks but do not enter any specific tasks, users will be able to add on any task.

Mnemonics

•are used in Beaker to quickly apply normal, non-numeric results or comments to a test.

Workcard Action Record, further workcard actions, organism identification, present a comment

•building blocks that you can use to create complete organism identification flows ("decision trees") for aiding the identification of an organism's genus and species. A complete identification flow is a series of evaluations made as part of an organism workcard. When taken as a whole, all of those evaluations can yield the identification of a specific organism. •Each workcard action is a point along that flow. Based on the evaluations at that point, the workcard action directs lab technicians to one of the following: •_________: additional evaluations to make, or specific instructions for further action •_______________: genus and species are automatically entered in for the isolate in the culture test. •____________: Comments can accompany either above outcome. •You might already have flows for identifying specific organisms documented on paper in your lab. This feature gives you the ability to present those flows to lab technicians directly in the system and expedite documentation.

Line In Mneumonics

•differ from standard mnemonics in that they only fill in data for one row of the Result Editor. Line-item mnemonics can be used for microbiology testing. One use involves creating mnemonics for Vitek abbreviations, which often take the form of the first three letters of the organism's genus followed by the first three of its species (for example: esccol for Escherichia coli). This can greatly speed up result entry, especially during an interface downtime. Line-item mnemonics may also be used as an alternative to building workcard actions. •A line-item mnemonic can be created by selecting the Line-Item Mnemonic check box. This disables the first two columns of the grid at the bottom of the screen. •Use the checkbox to create a line-item mnemonic

Creating Test Records: General Setup Form

•includes the basic information for a test. •Two settings on this screen are entered automatically: ◦The Status field is Active. ◦The Report name field displays what the test will be called in result reports. •The Access Tier Setup field allows you to limit who can view this test. If you enter a particular department in this field, any administrator who wants to edit this record must be logged in to that department. If you leave this field blank, an administrator will be able to access this record while logged into any department. In training, it is good practice to leave this field blank.

Creating a Mnemonic General Setup Form:

•lets you define all the settings for the mnemonic, including the result type for which this mnemonic is applicable and the tests for which the mnemonic is available. •The Allowed for Tests field is where you enter the tests for which this mnemonic should be available as an option in Result Entry. •You must enter the same result type in the mnemonic record that was entered in the test records for which this mnemonic will be used. You will not be able to enter a test in the field if its result type does not match the result type of the mnemonic.

Question Form

•to specify details about this question, including the prompt that users see and the type of responses that users can provide. You can pick from multiple types of responses, including yes/no, date, time, numeric, category, and free text. You can also decide if a response is required before allowing the end user to move on. •Released? Makes question active •Prompt: The question that appears to end users •Response Type: The answer choices that should be available •Multiple Response: Should the user be able to enter multiple answers •Required Response: Should this question have a hard stop •Duplicate Question Display: How does this question appear if asked multiple times in an encounter

Accessioning Setup Form

•where you define every single lab at your organization that can result this test. For each laboratory you enter, you can specify which sections are authorized to process the test, which containers may be used, and whether multiple tests may share the same container. •will not occur unless one or more laboratories are listed here. If there are multiple laboratories listed, it will be accessioned into the first of these labs listed in the department record where the user is logged in while accessioning. If no match is found there, the location is consulted, followed by the facility record.

Accessioning Setup Form

•where you define every single lab at your organization that can result this test. For each laboratory you enter, you can specify which sections are authorized to process the test, which containers may be used, and whether multiple tests may share the same container. •Recall above info on how system decides where test will be resulted •Department > Location > facility

Building a Culture Test: General Setup Form

◦ you have options for how to configure the culture's use of the Setup Bench. Enabling this will allow you to track the plate preparation for each specimen. Setup Bench settings on this form are: ◦Include on Setup Bench: Select this check box to have the test appear on the Setup Bench after it is received in the resulting lab. ◦Exclude from Setup Bench if all tasks done: Select this check box to exclude the test from the Setup Bench if all its associated tasks are complete. ◦This affects tests transferred from one lab to another. If the shipping lab completes all tasks before transferring it, this setting prevents the test from automatically appearing on the receiving lab's Setup Bench. ◦The next several forms in the record are very similar to the previous test build you have done.

•To prevent collection of the test if the answer to the question is No: •Why use 'Not Equal Yes' instead of 'Equals No'?

◦Will prevent accessioning if the question has ANY answer but yes which covers no and unanswered •In plain English, this table is saying, "If the answer to your consent form question is not yes, do not allow this test to be accessioned." •If the user answers anything but "Yes" to this question, a warning will appear at collection. •Because of the action defined in the test record (LAB QNR ACCESSION STOP), the user will not be allowed to collect the specimen. If you don't want to prevent the user from accessioning the specimen, other actions can just warn the user.
