VISTA Laboratory Package patch LR*5.2*274 contains no changes to software
Below is a listing of files exported by this patch, indicating if the
imported file will contain additional data.
FILE # NAME With Data
----------------------------------------------
64 WKLD CODE NO
64.036 LAB DSS LAR EXTRACT NO
64.2 WKLD SUFFIX CODES YES
(2) This patch allows the user to manually encode CPT codes for a given
64.21 WKLD CODE LAB SECT YES
64.22 WKLD ITEM FOR COUNT YES
64.3 WKLD INSTRUMENT MANUFACTURER YES
64.81 LAB NLT/CPT CODES YES
68 ACCESSION NO
Note:
The LAB NLT/CPT CODES (#64.81) file is purged during the pre-installation
phase. This file is only used to update THE WKLD CODE (#64) file and has
accession. This method of CPT coding does not use the CPT codes
no other purpose or function. This file will have no data after the post
installation routine has successfully run to completion.
======================
New Fields:
ES DISPLAY ORDER(#26) field has been added to the WKLD CODE (#64) file.
This field is used by the LAB CPT BILLING option to display a pick list
of those CPT codes defined by the NLT code. CPT codes can be selected by
using this number.

PCE ENC # (#30) of ACCESSION NUMBER SUB-FIELD (#1) of ACCESSION (#68)
file has been added. This free text field contains a list of PCE Visit
numbers generated for this accession. If there are multiple visit numbers
for this accession they are separated by ';'. This field is only
populated if professional service PCE workload is generated. This is
usually the type of PCE workload generated by the Pathologist reporting
anatomic pathology services. PCE workload is only generated for those
hospital locations with the type of clinic, module or other.

Note:
No PCE workload is generated for inpatient locations.

Modified Print Template:
Electronic Catalog Print [LA7S PRINT CATALOG] option LA7S PRINT template
has been changed to display the LEDI HL7 (#.09) field instead of SNOMED
CODE (#2) in TOPOGRAPHY FIELD (#61) field. The LEDI HL7 field is required
by LEDI collecting sites when defining tests to be sent to the Host
The user can select any appropriate CPT code(s) to identify the
laboratory and shipping manifest. The LEDI HL7 specimen must match the
specimen the HOST laboratory requires.
==========================
Input Template:
Input Template [LR WKLD EDIT ALL] has been modified to allow editing of
all user definable fields in the WKLD CODE (#64) file. Most notable is
that the LOINC CODE (#4) field of the TIME ASPECT (#30) sub-file of the
WKLD CODE (#64) file. This template is very useful to delete or correct
LOINC CODE entry in the WKLD CODE (#64) file.
professional service(s) rendered during this particular tissue exam. The
Input Template [LR WKLD ES CPT] is designed to allow quick editing of
the ES DISPLAY ORDER (#26) field and to edit all CODE (#18) sub-file
entries. The CODE sub-file is where CPT CODE assignments are entered.

The coding software ensures that all CPT codes selected are active. If

coding is ONLY PASSED FOR OUT PATIENT LOCATION TYPES. If the specimen is
assigned to a Patient as defined by an entry in the PATIENT (#2) file,
the specified CPT codes are passed immediately to the Laboratory/PCE API.
The date/time of the visit is set to specimen collection date/time. If
the time is not specified, a default of 12:01 is used. The PCE API
returns the visit number which is stored in the PCE ENC (#30) field of
the ACCESSION NUMBER (#1) sub-file of the DATE (#.01) sub-file of the
ACCESSION (#68) file.
The software will also store the WKLD CODES associated with the CPT codes
selected. These WKLD CODE are added to the Laboratory LMIP workload for
that accession. This is done regardless of the location type.

files will be updated with additional data.
(1) WKLD CODE (#64) file will be updated with any missing National
Laboratory Test (NLT) codes during the post installation phase. LAB
NLT/CPT CODES (#64.81) contains a complete listing of NLT codes. WKLD
CODE (#64) file is checked to determine if an NLT code should be added.
If the new NLT code is successfully added to WKLD CODE (#64) file or the
NLT code already exists, the entry in LAB NLT/CPT CODES (#64.81) file is
deleted.
(2) The TEST/PROCEDURE (#.01) field of the SPECIMEN # (#1) subfile of LAB
ORDER ENTRY (#69) file, input screen has been changed to allow the entry
of LABORATORY TEST (#60) that have the TYPE (#3) field set to OUPUT. This
screen was changed in the software of an earlier released patch. The user
should see no difference in software behavior.
(3) The DSS TEST NUMBER (#.01) field of the RESULT (#8) subfile of LAR
DSS LAR EXTRACT (#64.036) file has been increased from 50 to 300 to
accommodate patch ECX*3*47 number of tests to be extract.
