Orders Master Files Content
The following master files are set up and updated in File Maintenance.
| Master File | Description |
|---|---|
| Order Tests | You can manually add or modify tests and their appropriate codes in the Order Tests master file.
|
| Order Components | The Order Components master file stores units and reference range data for individual tests. This is useful if using the NextGen results view or if you are entering results manually.
|
| Order Test Favorites | You can manually create Order Test Favorites Groups that consist of specific tests used by a provider.
|
| Order Result Notifications | In the Order Result Notifications master file you can build a list of users to notify when test results are received. |
| Order Results Sequences | You can create the display order in which test results are displayed in the result flow sheet. Set up this table after results are received. |
| Order AOE Questions | This master file allows you to create Ask At Order Entry Questions that require answers before a test order can be submitted, such as the patient's height and weight. |
| Order AOE Answers | This master file allows you to create the list of valid answers for any Ask At Order Entry Questions associated with a test order. For example, you can predefine a list to select from for the AOE question 'Patient's Race?' |
| Order NextGen Test Compendium | This master file includes a list of all lab and radiology tests defined by NextGen Compendium. Before setting up NextGen Compendium, your system administrator must run the Order Management Console. The Order Management Console maps NextGen compendium codes to individual testing entity tables (such as Labcorp) that a practice uses to process tests. If your practice uses other compendiums, you must perform this process manually. By mapping the NextGen Compendium codes to Order Test codes (vendor compendiums), NextGen® Enterprise EHR enables users to order based on the NextGen compendium codes; and, therefore, ensuring the appropriate mapped vendor code is sent across the interface. This is particularly important when ordering from a template, since the templates are created using NextGen compendium codes. This enables you to configure one set of Favorites using the Compendium codes. |
| Performing Entities for Locations | This master file enables you to set up multiple locations for a single performing entity. It is not required that you set up multiple locations for a performing entity. However, if your practice has multiple locations, by setting up this master file, users can easily select the preferred location when working with orders. For example, a practice has three Quest lab locations in their area. For Faxing, they need to set up those three Quest locations with different fax details so the order is sent to the appropriate location. You can set up In-House Performing Entity by which the laboratory and diagnostic order items mapped to this entity, are displayed in the list of Common Orders in Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE). |
| Specimen Charges | If your practice performs the specimen collection for a test, you can bill the insurance company for that portion of the test. For each specimen draw that you perform, you have to define the SIM code. The SIM code determines what is charged. The Specimen Charges master file lists all the specimens that can be charged for by your practice. Once you add a specimen, you can update it or hide it but you cannot delete it. The specimens listed in the master file display in the Specimen Charge list of the New Order form in the Orders module. |
| XML Categories | This master file was used with a previous NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine template and is no longer required for setup. |
