Order Component Information

Field	Description
System ID	Select a testing entity. This can be a lab or radiology location. Examples are Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics.
Key	Enter a specific order component key. This is provided by the vendor.
Description	Enter a description of an order component. This is a text description such as Glucose, Sodium, and others.
Code System	Enter the Code System. This is an agreed upon ID for the testing entity such as "L" for Labcorp.
Units	Specify the type of units for the selected order component. This can be values such as ug/dL, %, Thous/mcl, and others.
Ref Range	Enter the acceptable range of results for the selected test order component. Examples are values such as 3.8-10.8, 130-400, F: 12-14; M 14-18.
LOINC Code	This is the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) universal coding for test results. This allows providers to view results coming back from different performing entities on the same line in the order flow sheet.

Test Order Information

Field Description System The test vendor. Key A specific order test key. The order test Key must match the key used by the specific vendor. Each vendor has to provide a list of test orders and their keys to NextGen Healthcare to use to define tests for a NextGen database. Description A description of the lab test. Order Type The order type, which is either Lab or Radiology. Code System The code to identify the test vendor. Common abbreviations are L for Labcorp, Q for Quest Diagnostics, and H for Orchard. This field serves no purpose in NextGen® Enterprise. The testing entity defines this value. Note: If you try to map a code for one lab test for a lab such as L for Labcorp and then try to map another lab to the same Code System, the software produces an error message. Cost The cost of performing the test. This value can only be a positive number. This value is used with the Advanced Beneficiary Notice feature. Days to expect results The number of days until results for a specific test

Define LOINC Codes for Order Components for Each Vendor

From File Maintenance, use Order Components to define a component and related LOINC Code for each vendor that you use. For example, Labcorp has a glucose component, Orchard has a glucose component, and Quest Diagnostics has a glucose component. Load LOINC codes and define the test clinical name. To define the LOINC Code for an Order Component, from File Maintenance, select System > Order Components. In the Order Components List, enter the name of a Component Desc. in the Order Components List Search field, and select the desired item in the list that appears. The Add/Modify Order Component Information window opens. Select the folder in the Loinc Code section. The Map LOINC Code to Component window opens. Enter the test order name, and then select the desired LOINC code to add it to the Included section and map this code to the test component. Select OK. Repeat these steps for each vendor's result component to be grouped in the Results flow sheet, using the same LOINC code. Note: Note t

Radiology Order Information

Field Description System The test performing entity. Radiology does not have the standard test lists like Quest Diagnostics, Labcorp, and other test order entities do. You can choose a system to map all of your radiology tests to. Key A key usually provided by the test entity. Radiology does not have any standard test lists for use with NextGen Healthcare currently, so you can assign a value of your choice. Keep track of this key so that you do not use it for another test value later. Description A description of the radiology test. Order Type The type of order, which should be radiology. Code System A code to identify a test vendor. This sample uses Reserved_1 for the test entity, so in this sample, we will use R for the code system. This field serves no purpose in NextGen Healthcare. The testing entity defines this value. Cost The cost of performing the test. This value can only be a positive number.
