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.

12	NUMBER OF DECIMAL PLACES	2;1	NUMBER	INPUT TRANSFORM: `K:+X'=X!(X>99)!(X<0)!(X?.E1"."1N.N) X` 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.
13	CONVERT RESULT TO REMARK	2;2	SET	'0' FOR NO; '1' FOR YES; LAST EDITED: `NOV 14, 1994` 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.
14	ACCEPT RESULTS FOR THIS TEST	2;3	SET	'0' FOR NO; '1' FOR YES; '2' FOR FINAL ONLY; LAST EDITED: `MAR 29, 1999` HELP-PROMPT: `Select if results for this test are accepted.` 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 set a variable in PARAM 1 as follows: PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(3)=1 Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false. Consult a programmer before trying this. 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 from preliminary to final W Post original as wrong, e.g., transmitted for wrong patient
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.
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.
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.
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 from preliminary to final
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".
20	STORE PRODUCER'S ID	2;9	SET	'0' FOR NO; '1' FOR YES; 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
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
22	NOTIFY ABNORMAL FLAGS	2;11	SET	'0' FOR NO; '1' FOR YES; LAST EDITED: `JUL 22, 2009` HELP-PROMPT: `Store abnormal flags with results` DESCRIPTION: Used to determine if an alert and bulletin should be created when results are processed with an associated abnormal flag.

INPUT TRANSFORM: K:+X'=X!(X>99)!(X<0)!(X?.E1"."1N.N) X
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.

LAST EDITED: NOV 14, 1994
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.

LAST EDITED: MAR 29, 1999
HELP-PROMPT: Select if results for this test are accepted.

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 set a variable in PARAM 1 as follows:

PARAM 1: S:(CONDITION) LA7XFORM(3)=1

Where CONDITION is some MUMPS value that equates to true or false.  Consult a programmer before trying this.

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.

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.

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

from preliminary to final

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".

STORE PRODUCER'S ID

2;9

SET

'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;

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

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

NOTIFY ABNORMAL FLAGS

2;11

SET

'0' FOR NO;
'1' FOR YES;

LAST EDITED: JUL 22, 2009
HELP-PROMPT: Store abnormal flags with results

DESCRIPTION:

Used to determine if an alert and bulletin should be created when results are processed with an associated abnormal flag. Generated from the value of field OBX-8 Abnormal Flags from the HL7 ORU result message.

SOURCE OF DATA:   Field OBX-8 Abnormal Flags in HL7 ORU result message
