This sounds like a wonderful solution. Does MAGIC have "Process on T-1
at" anywhere?

Subject: RE: [MEDITECH-L] Lab Collections batches and "0000".
We are C/S v5.5.2. We set the OE category dictionary parameter
for "Hold Future Orders" to "Y" on the Gen Info page, and then we set
the field "Process on T-1 at" to 2200. This means that at 10pm every
night, all the orders placed in OE for Lab for the following day will
come across to Lab. This means at 10:00pm, we see all the midnight timed
specimens. Our Phlebo's then pull them on a collection batch and we
rarely have a problem with midnight draws. Maybe this will help?

Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Lab Collections batches and "0000".
We have struggled for years with the problem of lab procedures
ordered for midnight by OE. Our collection batches are divided up into
the typical hours, and pool, stat, and urgent categories. The last
category of the day is 2300 which looks for specimens from 2300 to 2359.
We have the next day's testing, coming across at midnight - lab does not
see the next day's orders until that time.
The problem is this:
If a patient needs a "0000" blood sugar, we have tried training
staff to order it for 2359, so lab can see it in advance, plan their
work accordingly, and collect it in a timely manner. This just is not
working, especially now with POM, and training and reminders just don't
work.
Does anyone have any creative ways to deal with this problem?
I want at least the "0000" specimen orders to be seen in
advance. Any suggestions?
Thanks for any suggestions.
Kind Regards,
Diane
