LIS Order Group Dictionary

6.0

Purpose:

The LIS Order Group Dictionary defines one or more tests, procedures, and/or products that can either be ordered from an LIS Requisition, ordered via reflexing, or deleted.

Considerations:

Examples:

Initial / ADM profile including tests from LAB/MIC/BBK / Ordered via E/E Requisition
Add / Total CPK greater than 200 reflex ADD CPKISO / Reflexed via the LAB Test Dictionary
Delete / Total LDH in LDH/ISO test is less than 80 than reflex DELETE LDH/ISO / Reflexed via the LAB Test Dictionary

Initial type LIS Order Groups cannot be ordered via OM. Instead, Order sets are created within OM’s Order Set dictionary.

Rules are used to evaluate criteria other than patient age, sex, result range, method, doctor, MIS Query response, and/or test duplicate hours.

Process in Background: (Y/N)

Enter Y if the system should process reflex ordered tests in the background. Otherwise, enter N and the reflex will be processed in the foreground.

Spec Type: (SAME/NEW/MESSAGE)

To add/delete testing from the same specimen that contains the triggering test for the order group, enter “SAME”.

To add testing to a new specimen, enter “NEW”.

To generate only a message to appear after the trigger test is resulted, enter “MESSAGE”. This choice is to be used if no specimen is required.

Coll Date: (Free Text,Date, or use the T +/- convention)

Enter the collection date you want the system to associate to the NEW specimen.

Coll Time: (Free Text, Military time, or use the N for NOW convention)

Enter the collection time or UNKfor the system to associate to this NEW specimen.

Received: (Y/N)

Define how the system should enter the new specimens on the requisition. A response of N will display the specimen as unreceived and will provide access to the collection category prompt. A response of Y will display this specimen as received on the requisitionand will provide access to the Receive Date and Time Prompts in this dictionary.
