GP practices linked to a pathology lab using Anglia ICE or Indigo4 software
can now take advantage of SystmOne’s electronic pathology test requesting
facility.
Two independent pathology test requesting pilots have been completed using
Anglia ICE software. Both pilots were a success. Initially, electronic pathology
test requesting was only available to practices linking to labs using the
latest version of Anglia ICE. Now, however, SystmOne can link to labs using
Anglia ICE, and also to Indigo4 software. That means more clinicians and
more patients can benefit from a more secure pathology test requesting service.
Using electronic pathology test requesting, you can link straight to the
pathology lab’s software, there’s no need to re-enter a patient’s
details, and there’s no more writing on samples. You can opt to print
stationery with barcodes - just stick the labels on to the sample and when
sent to the lab, they can be easily matched to information on the lab's computer.
By linking to Anglia ICE or Indigo4 within SystmOne, pathology test requests
can be made and tracked easily, reducing scope for human error.
To set up pathology test requesting, a practice must be linked to a lab using
Anglia ICE or Indigo4, and the user must have a valid pathology requestor’s
code (GMP ID, NMC or Pathology ID - for non-clinical staff).
