I wanted to post to the "L" the issues that we had with this enhancement. First of all, I couldn't get our labels to print the barcode #...they kept printing a "1". Meditech was no help for this. The task went back and forth between us. I played with it for a bit and realized that I couldn't have the keyword in a "lbl combination" type. So I changed this an used it alone on the label and whoa!, it finally printed the barcode correctly. You also must have the "lsp sample type" keyword somewhere on the label. I put this after the barcode number on ours and it is fine. It took seven months of going back and forth with my specialist to actually get this working. Hopefully I can spare someone else the pain! Now that we have it working, we love it!

Sent: Wednesday, May 09, 2007 1:00 PM To: [email protected] Subject: [MEDITECH-L] Sample type enhancement in LAB Is anyone using the sample types for containers in LAB to generate different bar code labels for different sample types per specimen? If so, does it work well for your lab? In reading the DTS which introduced this functionality, it seems to me it has just made specimen tracking and processing more complicated. Are you able to tell visually from the label that this bar code for the red tube only contains the tests which require a red tube and not a green tube test that has combined to the same specimen because they are in the same department? Does anyone else think it would make more sense to generated different specimen numbers if the tests have different collection containers but are in the same department?
