| GENERAL DESCRIPTION |
Laboratory Electronic Date Interchange (LEDI) software
is used to accept electronic orders from and send electronic results to other
Laboratory Information Systems (LIS). The LEDI specimen accessioning procedure
has been redesigned to limit or eliminate the user's clerical patient
demographic data entry. This is achieved by adding an enhancement to the
existing FileMan patient lookup.
All LEDI patients are accessioned into the Referral File (#67). Adding
patients to this file requires the entry of Name, DOB, PID and Sex. The
clerical step of entering patient's demographic data is done by the
accessioning software.
If the FileMan lookup on the ^DPT( file is successful, a pointer is to be
placed in the Patient ^DPT( file pointing to corresponding Referral entry.
This pointer servers as a positive link identifier for future reference.
This new pointer serves the same purpose as the existing field in the PATIENT
FILE, LABORATORY REFERENCE (#63) except the new field will point to the
Referral File (#67).

DESCRIPTION: This field contains the pointer reference to the Referral file
of the Laboratory Package. This field is set by the laboratory accessioning
software and should not be edited.
Changing of this pointer will result in misidentification of patients that
could have dire medical repercussions.
This DBA is requesting the permission for establishment of this field within
the Patient File and permission to set and read this field directly.
