TMG Sites Lab Interface Setup

File #63 LAB DATA

   Patient's laboratory data
   This seems to hold the actual results.  Every lab test/result 
   that a patient has had seems to be held all in one Record, i.e.
   one Record for 1 patient, but different entries in subfiles.

File #60: LABORATORY TEST

   This is the file that holds the names and ordering, display of tests

File #68: ACCESSION

   This file contains entries which represent the functional
   subdivisions or departments of the laboratory (e.g. microbiology,
   hematology, blood bank etc.)

File #69: LAB ORDER ENTRY

   This file controls the orderly sequence of lab test ordering. 
   This file is pointed to by many other files, and supplies information 
   for order entry and order status output. 

File #68.2 LOAD/WORK LIST

 DEFINES THE LOAD/WORK LIST TO BE MADE FROM THE ACCESSION LIST

File #62.4 AUTO INSTRUMENT

 Master file controlling how the Lab system interprets the running of
 the instruments interfaced to the CORE system.


If file entries are edited (either initially or after system

  implementation), they must be done in this order:
 1. TOPOGRAPHY FIELD file (#61)
 2. COLLECTION SAMPLE file (#62)
 3. ACCESSION file (#68)
 4. LAB DATA file (#63)
 5. LABORATORY TEST file (#60)
 6. ACCESSION TEST GROUP file (#62.6)
 7. LABORATORY SITE file (#69.9
