Beaker: Clinical Pathology
Administration CPL250(Lab350 &
Lab400)
Overall facility structure - ✔️✔️Facility (General)->Service area->Location-
>Department->Room
->Bed(Specific)
HOD - ✔️✔️Hospital Outpatient Department. Used in areas that schedule patient
appointments and admitted patients
Triggers - ✔️✔️Applications that cause an event to happen (Some are hard coded, and
some are configurable based on workflow)
Mapping - ✔️✔️Decides how values should be interpreted on an interface
Translation table - ✔️✔️Takes a value and translates it to another value
Identity - ✔️✔️Framework used for mapping master file records on interfaces
Facility (Chapter 2.3) - ✔️✔️The most general, all-encompassing level in Epic and
refers to an entire organization or enterprise. (Backbone of the admin build)
Interface Engine - ✔️✔️Has powerful tools for manipulating interface messages
Middle Tier Device - ✔️✔️Helps route interface messages to appropriate instrument.
Typically one per organization
An advance framework for managing interfaces with third party systems called... -
✔️✔️Bridges
Levels on which Beaker CP facility structure is organized... - ✔️✔️Facility (LDF)-
>Laboratory->Section
Virtual Departments - ✔️✔️Patients are not scheduled or admitted here
Outpatient Department - ✔️✔️Used in areas that only schedule patient appointments
, Hospital Unit - ✔️✔️Necessary for areas where patients are admitted ADT(Admission,
Discharge, and Transfer)
Records for configuration hierarchy - ✔️✔️Test>Lab>Facility. This means that to find
specific settings, the system will look to the test record first, then the laboratory record,
and finally the facility record.
Receiving extensions (2.7) - ✔️✔️Used to prevent lab techs from receiving specimens
that do not meet certain criteria (i.e. missing information)
Receiving behavior (2.7) - ✔️✔️Specify whether specimens should be received in their
destination lab or into the lab you are logged into(this is the default and recommended
option)
TAT Basis (2.7) - ✔️✔️The TAT Basis field indicates how the turnaround time should
be calculated when a test is from one lab to another.
1. First Received Instant (When the test is first received into the initial lab)
2. Last Received Instant (When the test is last received into the final lab)
Default Turnaround Time (TAT) Values - ✔️✔️The turnaround time you enter in the
TAT field reflects the amount of time that can elapse before results are expected for
tests of a certain priority
Clinical Administration - ✔️✔️Set of text-based menus used to configure applications
(mouse does not work in this field)
Admins utilize this
Master file - ✔️✔️Drawer
Record - ✔️✔️File in the drawer
Contact - ✔️✔️A dated, or versioned, paper form
Item - ✔️✔️A question on a paper form (name, sex, etc.)
An answer to a question on a paper form - ✔️✔️Value
If you want to edit a record, how do you determine which record you should edit? -
✔️✔️You choose the most recent date provided
Which keyboard key allows you to move from one item to the next? - ✔️✔️Tab (enter
as well)
