To enable the Antech integration
Navigate to the Settings module
Click on the "Add Ons" tab
Click on the green "plus" icon on the row for the Antech integration
Complete the form that appears, and click "enable"
To fill out the form please be sure to have the following information available:
Clinic ID is your Antech ID -- a number like 99999 or 10243.
Username is the username that you use for the Antech Online website login
Password is the password that you use for the Antech Online website login
Antech (West) / (East) is a numeric field like Clinic ID above, but not the same value. Enter your Antech Account ID in Antech (West), unless you're 100% certain that you're a legacy Antech (East) customer. This information is also available in your account profile on the Antech Online portal, or you may ask your Antech rep for assistance.
Please note that in order for the extension to work, you will first need to register for an Antech Online account. To do so, please visit http://antechdiagnostics.com/online/AccountActivationForm.aspx.
Inventory Setup
To complete the integration setup, you will need to create and "map" your Antech inventory items in DaySmart. This will link your DaySmart inventory items to the specific item in Antech's catalog in the database.
To do this:
Navigate to the Inventory module and select "New Item"
In the "name" field, type in the Antech lab catalogue requisition ID (eg. SA705) or name (Antech's tests will start with "Antech: ")
Select the appropriate test from the list of results and add a "Base Price" as applicable
Click Save
The "name" of integrated labs cannot be customized. The inventory default name must be selected from the list. If the name is modified, the mapping will be lost and the item will not be integrated. You may however choose a custom "Display Name" for the client to view. |
Workflow
You must create the medical record in DaySmart first and print the requisition form with the barcode that DaySmart generates. You will send this form with the blood sample. When the results are ready, the provider will be alerted and they can view the results from the "Bell" icon. Similarly, staff may view the results by navigating to the lab record in the patient's file.
If the integration is properly enabled and the inventory item is linked, when you create the medical record you will see a "Send to Lab" field with the value "Yes".
If you do not first create the medical record in DaySmart and send the proper requisition form with the sample, the results may be "orphaned" and listed in the "Unassigned Labs" tab in the Patient module.
