Required configuration
- Create the diagnostic service and its diagnostic parameter.
- Configure result type, expected unit, and reference ranges.
- Create an active laboratory instrument with an immutable machine code.
- Enable worklist support for instruments that pull orders by barcode.
- Create an active instrument-test mapping.
Mapping model
The analyzer test code is supplied by the machine/vendor interface. It is not required to match the HMIS parameter code.
The mapping validates expected result type and unit. Version 1 quarantines mismatches rather than silently converting them.
Operational workflow
- Order the diagnostic service during a patient visit.
- Collect the specimen and print the barcode label.
- Dispatch the specimen to the configured instrument.
- The analyzer queries the dispatched barcode worklist.
- OIE imports results and HMIS completes the requisition only when all required mapped results are present.
