Add or Modify Order Components
Each type of test performed has a normal range of results expected for the information returned with the completed test. These expected result details are defined using File Maintenance as components of the test. This also eases the use of manual result entry. When entering results in the module the expected result list is shown and only the result and status information would need to be entered rather than all of the information. This section is also used for LOINC mapping (Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes) between different performing entity components. Select File Maintenance > Master Files > System > EHR > Order Components. The Order Components List window opens. From the List access box, do one of the following: To add a new item, select the Open Menu icon, and then select New. To modify an item, select the item in the list, select the Open Menuicon, and then select Open. You can also double-click the item name to open it. The Add Order Component Information window

Order Components Master File
The Order Components master file stores units and reference range data for individual tests. This means that you can manually add or modify lab components in the Order Components master file. Components make up the actual test. Therefore, after creating a test in the Order Test master file, add components to the appropriate test. If you are entering the test results manually, the Order Components master file ensures that once matched with the test, the master file automatically populates the fields in the result section of the Edit Results dialog box. All you must enter is the result and appropriate flag. Everything else populates because of the Order Components master file. The information included in the Order Components master file is a System ID, a key to identify the test, a description, a code for the performing entity, units associated with the test, and the acceptable value range for results from the test.
