62.4,30 LABORATORY TESTS 3;0 POINTER Multiple #62.41
LAST EDITED: MAY 31, 2016
DESCRIPTION: This is a multiple field that keeps track of tests being done in the instrument It allows one to
be exclusive of tests which the instrument
passes, as well as inclusive of the tests the machine passes which had
not been ordered from the test panel for the patient. It means, for
example, if the order was glucose, sodium, and a number of other tests,
but not the entire ASTRA panel, but the laboratory chooses to run on the
ASTRA, all the tests can be included in the verified data. To exclude
large amounts of data, for example, the Hematrak passes distribution data
about the slide that it has examined, information which may or may not be
appropriate for the laboratory to pass on to the ward.

DESCRIPTION: For traditional interfaces:
This is the code to send the instrument for downloading of load lists that this test is
requested.
This field used by various BI-DIRECTIONAL INTERFACES
eg. for test BUN enter / as the download code for the ETACHEM instrument.
For Universal Interfaces:
For sites using this instrument in a Universal Interface configuration, this field is used to
define the instrument 'name' for a test. This 'name' is used as an identifier for the test in all
messages sent to and from the instrument. It is important that the Universal Interface PC has
the name defined in this instrument's configuration exactly as it is here in the auto instrument
file, including upper and lower case. This field does NOT have to be the test name, but can be.
The name of this field should not be taken literally, it is used for both uploading and
downloading, uni-directional as well as bi-directional.
TECHNICAL DESCR: In a Universal Interface configuration this field is used as the primary identifier in all of the
HL7 messages passed between DHCP and the UI PC. It must be defined on the PC exacly as it is
entered here. It can be any alphanumeric string that passes the transform. There is an "AC"
cross reference on this field that is used as a lookup when a message is received. If test
results are not being downloaded or uploaded for this test, it might be because the Download Code
does not match exactly with the idenitifer on the PC for this instrument configuration.

LAST EDITED: NOV 14, 1994
HELP-PROMPT: Type a Number between 0 and 99, 0 Decimal Digits. If nothing is entered the decimal place of the
result will not be modified. Rounding will take place if the number of decimal places is
exceeded.
DESCRIPTION: This field is used to modify the result returned by the instrument. It is used to force the
result to a certain number of decimal places. If the result has more decimal places than the
number entered for this field, the result will be rounded to the number of decimal places
specified. For example, if this field's value was '2' and the instrument returned a result of
'34.678', the result would be modified to '34.68'.
If MUMPS code exists in PARAM 1, it will be executed before any modification to the result. If
the code in PARAM 1 changes the result such that it is no longer a canonic number, no
modification to decimal places will take place.
To round of the result based on other factors, or in other words - 'On the fly', you can set a
variable in PARAM 1 as follows:
PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(1)=3
Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false, and 3 represents the number of
decimal places. 3 is just an example, you can use any number you want, including zero. Consult a
programmer before trying this.

HELP-PROMPT: Answer Yes or No. If nothing is entered the default will be 'No'.
DESCRIPTION: This field should be set to 'Yes' if you want the result to be converted to a comment or remark.
If MUMPS code exists in PARAM 1, it will be executed before converting the result to a comment.
Be aware that if field 17 'REMOVE SPACES FROM RESULT' is set to 'Yes', the comment will have all
spaces removed.
To convert the result to a comment based on other factors, or in other words - 'On the fly', you
can set a variable in PARAM 1 as follows:
PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(2)=1
Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false. Consult a programmer before
trying this.

DESCRIPTION: Determines if results (HL7 OBX segments) are processed and stored. If nothing is entered, the
default will be 'Yes'.
If "YES" is selected then all test results are processed and stored.
Select "NO" to suppress the processing and storing any test result.
Selecting "FINAL ONLY" will only process/store test results when the result has a status of C,F,U
as defined in table 0085 below.
If there is MUMPS code in PARAM 1, it will be executed regardless of how this field is set.
To accept results for this test based on other factors, or in other words - 'On the fly', you can

62.41,15 DOWNLOAD TO INSTRUMENT 2;4 SET
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: NOV 14, 1994
HELP-PROMPT: Enter Yes or No. If nothing is entered the default will be 'Yes'.
DESCRIPTION: This field should be set to 'Yes' if the test is to be downloaded to the instrument. This might
be set to 'No' in cases where the instrument always performs and reports a computed value, but it
is not orderable.
If there is MUMPS code in PARAM 1, it will be executed regardless of how this field is answered.
62.41,16 IGNORE RESULTS NOT ORDERED 2;5 SET
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: NOV 14, 1994
HELP-PROMPT: Enter Yes or No. If nothing is entered the default will be 'No'.
DESCRIPTION: This field should be set to 'Yes' if you want to restrict results to only those tests that were
ordered.
For example, if an electolytes panel was ordered consisting of:
Sodium
Potassium
Chloride
CO2
And the instrument running the sample also reported a BUN result, the BUN would not be reported
if this field was set to 'Yes'.
To ignore results not ordered based on other factors, or in other words - 'On the fly', you can
set a variable in PARAM 1 as follows:
PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(5)=1
Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false. Consult a programmer before
trying this.
62.41,17 REMOVE SPACES FROM RESULT 2;6 SET
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: DEC 28, 1994
HELP-PROMPT: Answer 'Yes' if you want to strip all space characters from the result before storing it. This
is generally done but not required.
DESCRIPTION: If answered 'Yes' the result from the instrument will be changed so that it contains NO spaces,
e.g. > 3.2 would be >3.2. If this test is set up to be converted to a comment (see field 13)
the spaces will NOT be removed regardless of how you answer this field. MUMPS code in PARAM 1
will always be executed before any other transformation of the result takes place, including the
stripping of spaces.
To strip spaces conditionally based on other factors, or in other words - 'On the fly', you can
set a variable in PARAM 1 as follows:
PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(6)=1
Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false. Consult a programmer before
trying this.
62.41,18 STORE REMARKS 2;7 SET
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
'2' FOR FINAL ONLY;
LAST EDITED: DEC 05, 2000
HELP-PROMPT: Enter "YES" if remarks should be stored.
DESCRIPTION: Determines if remarks/comments (HL7 NTE segments) are processed and stored with results. This
applies only to remarks/comments that relate to a test.
Select "NO" to suppress the processing and storing of any remarks/comments associated with a test
result.
If "YES" is selected then all remarks/comments associated with a test result are processed and
stored.
The default value is "NO".
Selecting "FINAL ONLY" will only process and store remarks/comments when the associated test
result has a status of C,F,U as defined in table 0085 below. This only applies to NTE segments
that follow OBX segments.
Table 0085 - Observation result status codes interpretation
Value Description
C Record coming over is a correction and thus replaces a final
result
D Deletes the OBX record
F Final results; Can only be changed with a corrected result.
I Specimen in lab; results pending
P Preliminary results
R Results entered -- not verified
S Partial results
X Results cannot be obtained for this observation
U Results status change to Final. without retransmitting results
already sent as 'preliminary.' E.g., radiology changes status

62.41,19 REMARK PREFIX 2;8 FREE TEXT
INPUT TRANSFORM: K:$L(X)>30!($L(X)<1) X
LAST EDITED: AUG 31, 2001
HELP-PROMPT: Answer must be 1-30 characters in length.
DESCRIPTION: Used by the Lab Universal Interface software when processing HL7 messages that contain NTE
(notes) segments which follow OBX (test results) segments. These NTE segments apply to the test,
not to the specimen.
This field is used in conjunction with field STORE REMARKS (#18) in the CHEM TESTS multiple. If
field STORE REMARKS is set to YES then the value of this field, if any, will be used as the
prefix to the remarks when storing the remark in the LAH global.
Example: If the text "For test POTASSIUM: " is entered in this field and a remark is received
associated with this test that states "Specimen hemolyzed" then the remark which will be stored
is "For test POTASSIUM: Specimen hemolyzed".
62.41,20 STORE PRODUCER'S ID 2;9 SET
'0' FOR NO;

LAST EDITED: SEP 06, 2001
HELP-PROMPT: Store the name and identifier of performing lab
DESCRIPTION: Used to determine if a remark(comment) should be created and stored with the results which
indicates the producer of the test result. Used in conjuction with field REMARK PREFIX (#19)
which if defined will be the prefix added to the producer's name/id. This remark is generated
from the value, if any, of field OBX-15 Producer's ID from the HL7 ORU result message.
SOURCE OF DATA: Field OBX-15 Producer's ID in HL7 ORU result message
62.41,21 STORE REFERENCE RANGE 2;10 SET
'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;
LAST EDITED: NOV 29, 2004
HELP-PROMPT: Store the reference range with results
DESCRIPTION: Laboratory Electronic Data Interchange (LEDI): Previous versions of LEDI used this field. Current
versions of LEDI do NOT use this field. References ranges reported by reference laboratories are
always stored with results.
Laboratory Point of Care (POC): Used to determine if reference ranges reported by POC system with
the results should be processed and stored with the results. Some POC systems have references
ranges that are fixed within the POC system and may not be appropriate or accurate on the VistA
Laboratory system.
Set this field to 'YES' to use the reference ranges reported by the POC system.
Set this field to 'NO' to disregard any reference ranges transmitted by the POC system and
instead use the reference ranges specified in LABORATORY TEST file (#60) for this test/specimen.
SOURCE OF DATA: Field OBX-7 References Range in HL7 ORU result message
62.41,22 NOTIFY ABNORMAL FLAGS 2;11 SET
'0' FOR NO;
