overview as part of the omd conformance project, a number of changes have been made to profile this article summarises those changes addition of references range for lab results docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5sadocument processor window configuration docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5saadditional manual lab results entry options for abnormal flag and status docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5saexcelleris lab result validation docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5samodifying the default polling interval / download frequency for excelleris docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5samanually downloading lab results for excelleris docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5salaboratory name pre populated with the gnb's dynamic list of laboratory facilities docid\ zo7j99000irjlmakyy5sa omd conformance changes addition of references range for lab results we have enhanced the manual transactions window for lab results by introducing a new column for reference values this feature allows users to enter low and high reference range values directly in the profile user interface, improving the clarity and usability of lab result entries for details, consult the article on adding lab results manually docid\ jv1vl5xamj0m9gljuipac document processor window configuration the following configuration changes were made in organisation/preferences/general/general , a new document processor tab was added to configure the fields that are shown in the window the label of the from field has been changed to source author the label of the pos field has been changed to source facility and now the user can select the source facility from three options pos/ext/ad hoc additional manual lab results entry options for abnormal flag and status two new results configuration options have been added, which are accessible under organisation/preferences/general/general/import click the set results abnormal flag display button selecting the show abnormal flag when entering manual transactions setting allows users entering manual lab results to specify whether a result is normal, abnormal, very abnormal, etc click the set results status flag display button selecting the show result status when entering manual transactions setting allows users entering manual lab results to specify the status of the result (e g , final, corrected, preliminary, pending, deleted) by default, both options are deselected, preserving the existing workflow if these options are selected, the abnormal flag and status columns are displayed and available for data entry in manual transactions and in the results view these settings offer additional flexibility when entering lab data manually excelleris lab result validation a new negative acknowledgment mechanism has been implemented for the excelleris lab result download process previously, if there was a connectivity failure or a mismatch in the expected number of lab messages, the system could miss results with this enhancement, the system now detects such issues and sends a negative acknowledgment back to excelleris, prompting the service to retransmit the affected lab messages, thereby ensuring reliable and complete data transfer additionally, new logging capabilities have been added to support troubleshooting users can now view import/export logs related to the excelleris emessage service directly in the emr interface from control centre / manage / import and export errors/logs these logs show the status of each batch run (success or failure), including details like the number of results downloaded and whether a positive or negative acknowledgment was sent this functionality supports omd's requirement for better transparency and monitoring of lab result workflows for clinicians and administrators the edit button on the right hand side opens up a dialog that allows for adjustments to the filter as follows in addition, matching criteria have been added to the information tab in the results view of a medical record to provide clarity in cases where there may be some question as to why a lab result transaction was considered a match further, if set properties is selected from the context menu for a particular transaction in the results view, the matching history tab provides valuable audit details for details on the logic used to match a transaction to a provider, consult the match transaction to a provider docid\ cwxhilboyeicx5flvp9rz article for information on how to configure transaction matching preferences, consult the inbound transaction matching preference in profile docid\ um8a1te02xiwz3n0nvhsp article modifying the default polling interval / download frequency for excelleris if clinicians need to modify the polling interval / download frequency for lab results from excelleris (e g , for the new brunswick emessage service), this can be achieved as follows pre requisite configuration the ability to modify the polling interval is not granted to a provider by default; an administrator needs to grant the provider access to system tasks go to organisation/people & places and double click on the provider to open up the provider window in the provider window, go to the roles view and search for "system tasks explorer" right click on the "organization\system tasks explorer" role action and select grant steps go to organisation/system task explorer select the system task labeled 'emessage service "excelleris (nb)"' right click on the task and choose open in the task configuration window, go to the schedule tab and adjust the polling schedule settings click ok to save the changes this updates the automated schedule that controls how frequently lab results are retrieved manually downloading lab results for excelleris if clinicians need to download excelleris lab results on demand, they can run the system task manually pre requisite configuration the provider must have the "organization\system task explorer" role action assigned, as detailed above for changing the polling interval steps go to organisation/system task explorer select the system task labeled 'emessage "service excelleris (nb)"' click the green "run selected task now" icon this triggers a manual download of the lab results, bypassing the automated polling schedule laboratory name pre populated with the gnb's dynamic list of laboratory facilities for customers in new brunswick, profile can pre populate laboratory names from a dynamic list (which is synchronized daily) of laboratory facilities provided through profile's integration with the the government of new brunswick previously, it was up to users to maintain the list of external providers manually with this integration, by using a macro set up by intrahealth customer support, maintenance of this list can be automated lab names from this list are populated in profile using a macro, which creates external providers in profile with specialty set to "other", as shown in the example screenshot below for details on how to use this feature, consult the article on using pre populated laboratory names from gnb dynamic list for external provider docid 3f wohzayy3 zioc jxt learn more for information on previous updates affecting this project, consult excelleris display changes for new brunswick docid\ dwtwcvobdt5rh acpt fn for information on the steps to match a transaction to a provider, consult match transaction to a provider docid\ cwxhilboyeicx5flvp9rz for information on how to configure transaction matching preferences, consult inbound transaction matching preference in profile docid\ um8a1te02xiwz3n0nvhsp for articles relating to results in general, consult articles in the section of this knowledge base under results & measures / results https //help intrahealth com/en/support/solutions/folders/6000244030
