Displays a list of encounters for the patient, both past and future
Patient Station
Where you perform activities and tasks after accessing a patient’s record. Activities show up on the left side
Patient Workspace
Allows you to search using partial words anywhere there is a selection button
Completion matching
Allows you to completion match on multiple terms in any order
EnROL-enhanced record look up
Can be tailored for specific users to quickly find most common orders/items. You can go beyond the department level for more robust lists, ie: facility or database level
Preference List
Key word that is not in the order name that will pull in order (ex: tissue exam/gross)
Synonym
Allows you to edit order details, opens Order Composer from order entry screen for test ordered
Summary Sentence
Allows you to edit order details such as: Status, Source, Priority, write free text and associate a diagnosis with the order
Order composer
This field controls how many instances of a test should be ordered as well as when the order(s) should be released: 3 statuses: normal, future and standing
Order Status
One or more specimens from a single patient that are resulted in relation to each other. Usually with the same procedure.
Case
The overall type of processing for the case, including ID formatting (unique case #). Case types are specific to a lab and may determine the path a case will take.
Case Type
The physical sample of tissue or fluid that comes to the lab, specimens have a source
Specimen
A cross section of the specimen that has been treated with formalin and paraffin to maintain orientation
Block
After the block is repeatedly sliced very thinly to form a “ribbon: of sections, 1 or more of these sections is placed on a glass slide for staining and viewing under the scope
Slide
Task: specific actions that must be performed on the specimen, including creating blocks, slides and stains
Task
Finalizing a case in Case Builder, labels have printed and the case ID has been solidified. after a case is accessioned tasks cannot be hard deleted
Accessioning
A tool used to enter one or more tasks at one time. Allows you to add miscellaneous pieces to a specimen protocol (special IHC stain, study slides, etc)
Task Protocol
The plan for a case. These typically include multiple tasks. The combination of specimen, charges and tasks to be performed on the specimen.
Specimen Protocol
Activity used to indicate where a specimen is in processing throughout the lab
Tracking
Document the completion of tasks, slides, stains. Confirming completion of tasks is irreversible! Contains Case List, Task Pane, Task buttons
Case Prep Work List
Determine how activities look and which orders and cases show up (views, settings)
Report Settings

Correlation
Discrete documentation of the source of the discrepancy (ie: histology interpretation)
