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.

Adding or Modifying a Test Order in the Order Tests List

Each test vendor has to have each test order used in NextGen® Enterprise EHR defined for that specific vendor. For example, if you use three vendors to process tests, and you have common tests for blood work, glucose, cholesterol, throat cultures and iron counts, you must create three versions of each test, one version for each vendor. This graphic shows an example of a Glucose test in the master files defined for three different vendors. Note: When searching for items in the Order Tests List, you can change the focus of the search from System to Order Test Key to Order Test Description by selecting in the menu bar to move the highlight button to the item on which you want to use to complete the search. After you set the focus as described above, you can create vendor-specific groups of tests that are set up in the preferences for your location or for specific providers.
