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.

Setting Up Test Order Favorites

You can create any number of Order Test Favorites groups for use within your Enterprise. When you create a favorites group, you can create it for the NextGen compendium or for the other entity compendiums (such as Labcorp, Orchard, and others). By setting up the NextGen compendium favorites it can save time if multiple systems are used within the NextGen application. The NextGen® Enterprise EHR has standard compendiums available for NextGen, Labcorp and LOINC that can be installed using the Orders Management Console. If your practice deals with labs that have not been mapped to the NextGen compendium, once it is installed, you can use File Maintenance to map the NextGen tests to your tests. Note: NextGen® Enterprise EHR, version 5.7 and later does not come with default compendiums loaded. To load the NextGen compendium for the Orders Module (versions 5.7 and later) you use the Orders Management Console. The NextGen compendium is not required to use the Orders Module. If you have an exi

Order NextGen Test Compendium Master File

The Order NextGen Test Compendium includes a list of all lab and radiology tests defined by NextGen. 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. If you update the User Description on the Modify NextGen Compendium Master Codes dialog box, you mus
