Click this button to open the Previous Medical Directors Pop-up to define previous medical directors.

Click in or enter text in to the search-as-you-type field to search for and select a practice. Click the blue link located in the Name column to add the practice to the field, or click the magnifying glass icon to manually search for a practice. Click X to remove the practice from the field.

Click or enter text in the search-as-you-type field to search for and select roles to assign to this testing facility.

The selected roles will be used to determine login rights for the ODE associated with this testing facility. The system will check the roles of users attempting to sign in to the ODE against the roles selected here. If there's a match, the user will be granted sign-in permissions as outlined by the role. For example, if the testing facility's role has the administrator right and the user also has that role, they will sign in to the ODE as an administrator.

Enter the ZIP code for the testing facility.

If ZIP code checking is enabled in the System Defaults administration page, when you enter a ZIP code that exists in the database, the system automatically fills in the associated city, state, and country.

If the ZIP code update option is enabled, the system also updates the corresponding city and state data, if appropriate.

Select this checkbox to force order choices that are routed to a testing facility to go through the Release Samples page before sending an HL7 message to the testing facility.

If this is not selected, the system will transmit order messages as they become available.

Select this checkbox to assign all diagnosis codes that exist on an order to a reflexed order choice.

If this is not selected, when the system receives a result for an order choice that was added to an order in the lab, it will attach the order choice to the order and mark it as a reflexed order choice, but it will not assign the order's ICD codes to the new order choice.

Select this checkbox to display a pop-up that allows you to specify which hematology sectors to approve when selecting to approve results on the Hematology Review Results pop-up accessed from Work in Progress.

Select this checkbox to display a bar code on the manifest. You can set the bar code format using the Label Printing administration page, accessed at either the system level (see the System Defaults topic) or at the host level (see the Hosts topic).

The system uses the host-level setting, if it exists, and it uses the system-level setting if the host-level setting does not exist.

Select this checkbox to display an abbreviation of the system's time zone after all dates on requisitions that are sent to this testing facility.

The time zone on the requisition is based on the time zone of the person printing the requisition.

Select this checkbox to display a bar code on the requisition. You can set the bar code format using the Label Printing administration page (see the Label Printing topic), accessed at either the system level (see the System Defaults topic) or at the host level (see the Hosts topic).

The system uses the host-level setting, if it exists, and it uses the system-level setting if the host-level setting does not exist.

Select an option from the drop-down list to set the contents of the bar code on requisitions for the testing facility.

• Default: Print just the sample ID for the bar code.
• Prepend Ordering Location Host Code: Add the ordering location's host code for this host in front of the sample ID for the bar code.
• Prepend Ordering Provider Host Code: Add the ordering provider's host code for this host in front of the sample ID for the bar code.
• Prepend Ordering Location Lab Account Number: Add the ordering location lab account number in front of the sample ID for the bar code.

Select an option from the drop-down list to set where the system splits requisitions.

• All samples: Create one requisition that includes all of the samples on an order.
• One sample ID per requisition: Create one requisition for every sample ID on an order.
• One sample per requisition: Create one requisition for every sample on an order.
• One temperature per requisition: Create a new requisition page for each temperature type for the samples on an order.

Select an option from the drop-down list to set what the requisition should include.

• All Order Choices: Include all order choices on the requisition.
• All Collected Order Choices: Include all collected order choices on the requisition.

Select this checkbox to sort requisitions by sample ID. This works by sorting the elements inside each break level by the first sample ID to appear in the Sample ID Info Format.

Select this checkbox to be prompted to enter a reason for amending results any time a clinical or hematology result is amended for that testing facility.

You can enter a reason on the pop-up by typing, using text shortcuts, and/or using quick comments. You can also set whether or not the reason is reportable.

If you do not enter a reason, the result is not amended. If you enter a reason, a result-level comment is created when amending the results that contain the specified reason.

When this setting is enabled, if the user selects the Approve button on Basic Review Results or Advanced Review Results before entering documentation for out-of-range QC, the Out-of-Range QC Result Documentation Pop-up will appear.
