Labs, screens, imaging, and procedures that are performed in-house or sent out are all managed in OP through Diagnostic Test Set up.  The Diagnostic Test Name Information window is used to link existing results to an existing test/lab, and add new in-house tests and results.

Diagnostic Tests are divided into the four categories listed below.

NoteIf a category is not assigned to your test or procedure, then the Diagnostic Test will be listed in the Lab category.

Meaningful Use MeasuresIf your Practice is reporting for Meaningful Use (MU), it is important to be sure to categorize the Diagnostic Tests and procedures appropriately so that your measures calculated are accurate.

  • Labs and Imaging will count toward MU
  • Screens and Procedures will not count toward MU
