#NameLocationTypeDetailsIndexDescription
.01test/profile0;1POINTER60BThis field contains the laboratory test which should be built onto a shipping manifest. Both atomic and cosmic (panel) tests can be selected. The test on the accession must match exactly the test entered in this field. No expanding of panels occurs.
.02accession area(+)0;2POINTER68COLLECTION FACILITIES: This field is used to designate the accession area to check when searching for tests to build onto a shipping manifest. If it is blank then the building process will skip over this test. HOST FACILITIES: Not used by software at host facilities.
.025division0;10POINTER4Collecting facilities: If the manifest building process should only build accessions' from a certain division on a manifest then enter the division to screen these accessions. The division used here will be the division associated with the user who created the accession. This field will allow a site to screen accessions from multiple divisions, only placing on the manifest an accession from the specified division. Host facilities: This field not used.
.026feeder shipping configuration6;0MULTIPLE62.9002Allows the site to indicate that this test is eligible for a manifest related to this shipping configuration if the specimen/test has been received via the designated feeder shipping configuration which was used to receive the specimen. Example: A CBOC ships a specimen/test to the main VistA facility. The main VistA facility then needs to place this specimen/test on another shipping configuration manifest to ship to another laboratory. By designating the feeder shipping configuration this test will only be added to the manifest if it has been received by the laboratory via a manifest related to the feeder shipping configuration. If the manifest related to the feeder shipping configuration has not been received then the test will not be added to prevent it being placed on a manifest before the specimen has arrived.
.03specimen0;3POINTER61This field is used to determine if a test for a particular specimen type should build on the shipping manifest. If left blank, i.e. no entry then all specimens for this test are eligible for building on a shipping manifest. If a specimen type is entered then the specimen type of the accession must match before the test is eligible for building onto a shipping manifest.
.04urgency0;4POINTER62.05COLLECTING FACILITIES: If shipping laboratory tests that are a certain urgency, specify the urgency that must match the test urgency of the accession for the accession/test to be placed on the shipping manifest. HOST FACILITIES: This field is used by LEDI software at the host facility to determine the entry in the host site's URGENCY file (#62.05) to use for ordering when the host site has more than one entry in the URGENCY file (#62.05) that maps to the same HL7 PRIORITY. Example: Host site has three urgencies which map to HL7 PRIORITY: ROUTINE (R). Entry # Name LEDI HL7 ------- --------------- -------- 2 PATIENT WAITING ROUTINE 9 ROUTINE ROUTINE 10 NO RUSH ROUTINE If there is no mapping defined for this field, then the LEDI software will use the last entry in the URGENCY file that maps to HL7 PRIORITY: ROUTINE (R); workload urgencies are excluded. In this case the test would be ordered with a URGENCY of NO RUSH. If the host site enters a mapping in this field, i.e. ROUTINE then the test will be ordered using the host site's entry for ROUTINE in the URGENCY file when the HL7 PRIORITY matches.
.05specimen container(+)0;5POINTER62.91COLLECTING FACILITIES: The container used to hold the specimen. This could be the original collection container or a tube/vial/jar that the specimen is transferred to prior to shipment to another facility. It is the container that actually hold/contains the specimen. HOST FACILITIES: This field is presently not used by LEDI software at the host facility.
.06shipping condition(+)0;6POINTER62.93COLLECTING FACILITIES: This field describes under what temperature/environmental condition the specimen is to be shipped. Examples would be frozen, refrigerated or ambient temperature. HOST FACILITIES: This field is presently not used by LEDI software at the host facility.
.07packaging container0;7POINTER62.91COLLECTING FACILITIES: This field is used to determine what packaging container a test's specimen container is placed in when the specimen is being shipped to another facility. HOST FACILITIES: This field is presently not used by LEDI software at the host facility.
.08specimen label0;8SET OF CODES0:NO LABEL
1:PLAIN
2:CODE 39
3:CODE 39/CHECK DIGIT
4:CODE 128
Field is presently NOT USED by the software. Will be utilized in a later version of LEDI when shipping labels are implemented. COLLECTING FACILITIES: This field is used to designate if specimen labels should be printed when a shipping manifest is built. If labels are to be printed then the type of barcode can be designated to allow a collecting facility to tailor the barcode type to the needs of the host facility. HOST FACILITIES: This field is presently not used by LEDI software at the host facility.
.09host collection sample0;9POINTER62COLLECTING FACILITIES: This field is presently not used by LEDI software at the collecting facility. HOST FACILITIES: This field is used by host facility laboratories to designate the collection sample to be used when processing electronic orders for this test/specimen combination. It is used to build the order in file # 69.6, LAB PENDING ORDERS, with the test/specimen/collection sample that the host facility uses.
