xLAB Importing Calculated Results

xLab provides for a much more extensive, feature rich calculated results. Therefore LabPak calculated results are not directly compatible with xLab. We have imported all of the LabPak Calculations you selected and saved them as a 'Comment' as opposed to a calculation. You will need to modifiy each of the imported calculation to make them compatable with xLab.

In xLab, all reportable entities are consideres "Results" and only Orderable items are considered "Tests". In xLab, CBC is a "Test" and has multiple Results. Appearance is a "Result".

In xLab, Panels are a collection of "Tests". For example: a "Comprehensive Healthscreen" may contain a "CBC", "UA" and "BMP"

In addition xLab supports; Collection Containers (Tubes), Container Volumes and "Test" volume. Therefore each Orderable entity ("Test") in xLab requires the identification of the Collection vessel and the sample volume required for the "Test".

Once you "Click" on Next below, xLab will guide you through navigating to where you saved the Exported data, then read all of the data. Upon completion you will see a screen simular to below. The important items to consider are;

  1. Do you wish to import a particular LabPak Procedure at all. In many cases over the years customers have LabPak "Tests" they no longer use. If you wish to Include a LabPak Procedure, check the "Include" check box, it you do not want to include a LabPak Procedure, un-check the "Include" checkbox. Unless there is a specific reason to exclude a procedure it is recommended that all Procedures be imported. If you are sure that a Procedure is no longer used (either as an orderable Test or part of a LabPak Panel) yu may safely exclude it.
  2. Is the LabPak Procedure Orderable or just part of a Panel. Some Like "BUN" are both Orderable and part of a Panel (I.E. BMP), Some are never ordered but are part of a Panel (I.E. Appearance is never ordered but is part of a Panel UA).
    1. Checking the "Orderable" check box will import the Procedure as an orderab test. If a LabPak Procedure is to be Orderable, you must specify the Volume and the Container to use. Orderable items without both Volume and Container selected will not be imported.
    2. You may also add a Note to Orderable Procedures that will be displayed on the xLab Order Entry Screen for that Test.
