Microbiology Sample Types

Note

Configurations in this section drive what sample types are available for the specified testing facilities.

If the testing facility is set to All, the sample types defined will be available across all testing facilities that do not have a testing facility explicitly defined.
If a testing facility is explicitly defined, the sample types defined will be available for the specific testing facility.
If none of the testing facilities are set to All, all sample types will be available to all testing facilities that have not been explicitly defined.

Add

Select this button to see options for specifying a testing facility and set of sample types for the order choice.

Testing Facility

Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select a testing facility for the microbiology order choice.

This field defaults to All.

Sample Types

Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select sample types for the microbiology order choice.

Multiple sample type sets can be added to the same order choice as long as the testing facilities do not match.

Adjusting Sample Types also adjusts any required tests designated in the Microbiology Mandatory Tests section on this page.

Microbiology Default Media

Add	Select this button to add a default media section to the order choice. Each default media section has a unique testing facility.
Testing Facility	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select a testing facility for the microbiology order choice. This field defaults to All.
Valid Sample Types	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select sample types for the microbiology order choice. The available valid sample types are determined by the sample types selected in the Microbiology Sample Types section with a matching testing facility.
Valid Source Sites	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select source sites for the microbiology order choice. Specifying a valid source site determines which default media to add automatically on the Microbiology Media Setup Pop-up. The default media added will be based on the most specific section added to this setup.
Default Media	Default media can be flexed based on the designated specimen type of an order choice (culture). You can set separate default media by specimen type for each facility. This allows the Microbiology Media Setup Pop-up to instantly flex the default media as well as add/remove additional media and make any other necessary changes. Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select default media for the microbiology order choice. Note You can add duplicate default media. Use the Sort column to sort the list once selections are made. Select the X button to clear selected media from the list. Note Default media can be flexed based on the designated specimen type of an order choice (culture). You can set separate default media by specimen type for each facility. This allows the system to instantly flex the default media as well as add/remove additional media and make any other necessary changes.

Microbiology Culture Abnormal Organisms

Add	Select this button to add an abnormal organisms section to the order choice. Each abnormal organism section has a unique testing facility/department.
Testing Facility	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select a testing facility for the microbiology order choice. This field defaults to All.
Valid Sample Types	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select sample types for the microbiology order choice. The available valid sample types are determined by the sample types selected in the Microbiology Sample Types section with a matching testing facility.
Abnormal Organisms	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select the organisms that will flag as abnormal or critical when isolated on the selected order choice for the associated testing facilities and/or sample types. The list of abnormal organisms selected display in a table. At the end of the organism item's row in the table, select the Flag drop-down list to select a culture-level flag for the Microbiology Work Card. This way, you can define targeted organisms per culture as needed. The drop-down options are: A: Abnormal. This is the default. A!: Critical Whichever you select in the Flag drop-down list will automatically set the Isolate section and culture-level abnormality flags. Note Organism designations are hierarchical. This means that if you flag a genus, all species under it will also flag as abnormal. The abnormal organism flags you configure here will display on the Microbiology Work Card when you add the organism to the work card.

Microbiology Culture Instrument Identifiers

Instruments	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select microbiology instruments to send the order alias to.
Select	Clear this checkbox to remove the instrument from the table.
Testing Facility	Displays the testing facility name.
Department	Displays the department name.
Instrument	Displays the instrument name. Select the arrow in the column header to sort this column.
Presumptive Positive	Select this checkbox to mark the instrument as capable of sending a presumptive positive flag. When the system receives this presumptive positive flag, it disables the order choice from qualifying for auto-no-growth workflow reporting.
Send order information on	Select an option from the drop-down list to determine when a Microbiology order choice is transmitted to an instrument: Received In-Lab: This is the default option. Select to send the Microbiology order choice to the instrument upon being received in the lab. On Micro Setup: Select this option to send the Microbiology order choice to the instrument after setting up the culture in Review Results.
Outbound ID	Enter an outbound ID in this field to define the proper order identifier for the order choice to send to the instrument.

Microbiology Culture Organism Estimation

Result Field Type

Select an option from this drop-down list: None, Organism Quantification, or Organism Semi-Quantification. The default is None.

The order choice will display the selected field in all isolate sections for the specified culture.

Display Name

Enter the name you would like displayed.

Mandatory field

Select this checkbox to make the Result field mandatory.

This causes the mandatory field to be outlined in red for every isolate section added to the Microbiology Work Card Pop-up for the specified microbiology order choice. You must enter results before the isolate workup status for that section can attain a complete status.

Microbiology Mandatory Tests

Add	Select this button to add a required tests section to the order choice. Each required test section has a unique testing facility/department.
Testing Facility	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select a testing facility for the microbiology order choice. This field defaults to All.
Valid Sample Types	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select sample types for the microbiology order choice. The available valid sample types are determined by the sample types selected in the Microbiology Sample Types section with a matching testing facility.
Required Tests	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select required test for the microbiology order choice. In addition to microbiology culture-level tests that can be listed here, any clinical information test that is needed to display on the work card also needs to be added to this area. The clinical information test follows the clinical information settings for result requirements.

Microbiology Mandatory Reports

Add	Select this button to add a required reports section to the order choice.
Testing Facility	Enter text or select in this search-as-you-type field to select a testing facility for the microbiology order choice. This field defaults to All.
