Note: The Anatomic Pathology order dialog is not currently available, but will be available soon. Sites will be notified when this feature becomes available.
Anatomic Pathology (AP) laboratory service now has a mechanism for clinicians to provide required patient-specific,procedure-specific, and specimen-specific information to facilitate specimen processing by pathologists. A new Anatomic Pathology Order Dialog is available with the following available order types:
Bone Marrow
Bronchial Biopsy
Bronchial Cytology
Dermatology
Fine Needle Aspirate
Gastrointestinal Endoscopy
General Fluid
Gynecology (Pap Smear)
Renal Biopsy
Tissue Exam
Urine
Urology, Bladder/Ureter
Urology, Prostate
When opening the Anatomic Pathology order dialog, you must first select one of the available order types, such as seen below, for example Bone Marrow, Bronchial Biopsy, etc.
Because each order type may require different information, different order dialog fields display when the user selects an order type.
The Anatomic Pathology Ordering dialog is shown below. On this dialog, the user selects the type, such as Dermatology. Red boxes and numbers added to describe different areas.
The dialog has several areas that interact. Some areas of the dialog are described briefly below.
When the user selects Anatomic Pathology from an order menu or the Orders pane, the Anatomic Pathology Ordering dialog displays and the first thing to select is an order type (e.g., Bone Marrow, Dermatology, etc).
When an order type is selected, the rest of the fields on the dialog change to gather the information for that type of order.
To place an Anatomic Pathology order, use these steps:
