Orchard Toxicology

How can laboratories use Orchard Enterprise Toxicology to maintain compliance with regulatory bodies?

Orchard Enterprise Toxicology helps labs balance compliance, workflow efficiency, and revenue. The solution offers features that can help “force” compliance such as reflex testing, medication consistency tracking, and accommodation of LCD changes.

What options does Orchard Enterprise Toxicology provide for reflex testing?

Reflex testing can be set up to be based on self-reporting, patient presentation, medical history, or current prescribed medications, not only based on positive results. This gives labs more direction and control of system setup to meet regulatory requirements. You can create personalized reflex testing that incorporates medication consistency, patient history, type of patient, and frequency as parameters used to create the reflex rules.

How does Orchard Enterprise Toxicology support medical necessity documentation?

Orchard Enterprise Toxicology allows for documentation of signed orders, progress notes, and any other notations that need to be readily available and produced during an audit. The solution can force capture of this documentation at order entry.

How does Orchard Enterprise Toxicology help address toxicology-specific workflow challenges?

Orchard Enterprise Toxicology helps you capture medical necessity documentation as part of your workflow. This documentation can include the patient’s presenting condition, days of consistent absence of drug use, baseline vs monitoring testing—all collected at order entry. You can create testing profiles on a case by case that are able to differentiate between a profile and a panel, and you can set up frequency rules to keep you in compliance.

In addition, the solution supports plate mapping and acquisition file generation, consistency checking, and viewing screen and confirmation in the same window to correlate results before reporting.

How does Orchard Enterprise Toxicology support medication metabolism functionality?

In Orchard Enterprise Toxicology, rules can be built to incorporate consistency based on drug metabolites rather than only on the parent drug. This means you do not need to write a rule for each metabolism scenario. You can assign metabolism at the test build level and never have to write rules for consistency checking.

What reporting tools does Orchard Enterprise Toxicology offer that helps customize reports for clients/providers?

With Orchard Enterprise Toxicology, internal patient reporting is easily configurable by customer, meaning you can customize reports for each provider preference. Reports can be set up so that providers are alerted when there are medication inconsistencies. Lab specific reporting and analytics can be broken down by payer, code, or provider to ensure you get paid and that you are aware of what tests are not getting reimbursed.
