With the AMCIS Patient Care Manager ordering, receiving and viewing lab studies is greatly simplified.
Ordering labs has never been easier.
You can order lab studies electronically with Labcorp and Quest Diagnostics, or with your own in-house lab. During the AMCIS installation, you will be taught how to easily setup and edit your ‘common lab orders’ and ‘common lab icd9 codes’. Also, if the practice carries insurance policies that require use of a specific laboratory company, the appropriate lab can be pre-selected for those insurance companies. When you are ready to order simply:
- Click the lab tests and ICD9 codes from your common list.
- Check if the patient should fast or if the test is ‘Stat’.
- Enter the number of renewals if it is a Standing Order.
- Click submit.
If you are ordering an unusual test that is not in your common list, it takes only 2 additional clicks.
- Enter the first few letters of the name of the test; click search.
- Click the test you would like from the list shown on the screen.
And, if you would prefer that your Medical Assistant orders the tests, then it can be submitted by him/her as a verbal order. If verbal orders have been made a notice appears on your home page and you can quickly confirm all verbal orders.
If there are pending lab orders a notice appears on your home page and the patient chart's studies section until the results are in. This protects you in case a result does not return from the lab in a timely fashion.
Managing Lab results is a snap.
You will also receive and view incoming lab studies via AMCIS. All labs are resulted electronically and result values automatically populate your customizable lab flow sheet. For example:
- Incoming laboratory results appear on the provider's home page.
- With one click, the provider can enter the patient's medical record and electronically view:
- the laboratory result with abnormal findings flagged
- the lab flow sheet with the new result values compared to the old values
- The provider can add a comment on the result or default to ‘reviewed’.
- With a second click, the result can be sent electronically to another member of the practice or to the patient.
- The reviewed result is automatically stored in the visible list of past results.
If you decide to share the report with your patient, it's all done electronically via the AMCIS Patient HealthPort. Also, your patient can print requisitions for ordered lab studies directly from the Patient HealthPort which is very helpful when they can't make get to the office to pick up the requisition.
