Global: ^LAHM(62.9

This field is used to give a name to a pair of facilities that have entered into a relationship in which the collecting facility sends the host facility laboratory specimens for clinical testing.

1)= S ^LAHM(62.9,"B",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""

2)= K ^LAHM(62.9,"B",$E(X,1,30),DA)

This field is used to designate the collecting facility that is part of a shipping configuration.

1)= S ^LAHM(62.9,"C",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""

2)= K ^LAHM(62.9,"C",$E(X,1,30),DA)

This field is used to designate the host facility that is part of a shipping configuration.

The name of the institution which houses the computer system of the host which will be receiving the order.

1)= S ^LAHM(62.9,"E",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""

2)= K ^LAHM(62.9,"E",$E(X,1,30),DA)

This cross reference is used to easily identify the host facility systems during the LEDI setup option.

This field is used to designate whether this shipping configuration is "active", i.e. selectable by the user for use in building, processing and receipting shipments of laboratory test.

facility needs to generate a new specimen id/label or use the specimen id/label from the Collecting facility.

If both the Collecting and Host facilities on operating on the same computer system then select #3 - SAME SYSTEM.

The name of the institution which houses the computer system from which the sender transmitted/sent the order.

1)= S ^LAHM(62.9,"D",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""

2)= K ^LAHM(62.9,"D",$E(X,1,30),DA)

This cross reference is used to easily identify the collection facilities during the LEDI setup.

on the manifest to the host facility. It identifies the entry in the LA7 MESSAGE PARAMETER file #62.8 to use for building and transmitting the manifest.

1)= S ^LAHM(62.9,"AC",$E(X,1,30),DA)=""

2)= K ^LAHM(62.9,"AC",$E(X,1,30),DA)

This cross reference is used to identify the LA7 MESSAGE CONFIGURATION entries in the LAB SHIPPING CONFIGURATION file (#62.9).

This field is used to designate the method of shipment used by a shipping configuration. Examples could be courier, taxi, commercial carrier, etc.

There are two styles of bar codes. The regular style (code="YES"), which was released with the original version of Laboratory Electronic Data Interchange (LEDI), produces a long bar code. If the receiving site, which is

reading these type of bar codes, has problems then switch to the compact style (code="YES-COMPACT"). This will produce a shorter bar code.

transport the specimens to the host facility.

This identifier is used in constructing the HL7 application name and facility and resolving identification of institutions during HL7 message building and processing.

This field is not used when VistA is communicating with a VA or DoD facility. These facilities are identified by their VA station number or DoD DMIS ID respectively.

If the system that you are shipping to requires an account number for billing or other purposes enter the number here. It will be printed on shipping manifests and transmitted in electronic messages if applicable.

If field is blank then default is "NO".

laboratory shipping software will then use the non-VA test codes entered for each test on this configuration.

If the non-VA facility can accept VA test codes then answer "NLT" and the software will sent VA test order codes.

VA test order codes are usually NLT codes but in the future may be LOINC codes. Selecting "LOINC" is currently not supported.  Support will be added in a future version of the LEDI software when LOINC coding has been

implemented within VA facilities.

Host facility: If orders are received from a non-VA facility and the facility can not transmit HL7 specimen codes from HL7 table 0070 then answer with the type of coding system "LOCAL".

If you need to have the same test in more than once to support different specimen/urgency criteria then enter the test name enclosed in "" to add the same test.
