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.

  1. Select File Maintenance > Master Files > System > EHR > Order Components.
    The Order Components List window opens.

  2. 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 Menu icon, and then select Open. You can also double-click the item name to open it.
    The Add Order Component Information window displays.

  3. Enter the component information.
    • If you want to hide the item in the list, select the Hide check box.
    • Select Next to add another item.
    • Select OK to return to the List Access window.
  4. After you have created all the necessary test order components, select OK to save the components and exit the Add Order Component Information window.
