Importing Compendiums or Updates with the Orders Management Console
After you have configured the initial settings for the Orders Management Console, you can load or update a test order compendium. You must import compendiums to make them available to the Orders module; the NextGen database does not contain any compendiums initially.
When running the Orders Management Console, the sequence in which you process the vendors is enforced by the program. You get an error message if you try to load a vendor list before NextGen or LOINC.
You can load the compendiums in the following order:
- NextGen
- LOINC
- Vendors (for example, Labcorp, Veredigm labs)
If you have updated the NextGen compendium file, and there are no changes to the LOINC code, you update the vendor compendium.
The initial load and any updates come from the Web Server URL defined in your settings.
