Web-based Outreach, Lab Networks, & EMR Integration
Orchard has two outreach, networking, and integration options: Orchard Harvest Webstation and Orchard Copia. Each is designed to make your lab more accessible to providers either via the web or directly through their EMRs, and with electronic order entry and result delivery, you eliminate paper requisitions, reduce errors, save time, improve efficiency, and increase revenue.
Orchard® Harvest™ Webstation
Harvest Webstation, used as a module with Orchard Harvest LIS, is primarily designed to give web access to users within a single legal business entity, with a focus on low cost for implementation and general simplicity. It was designed
for laboratories serving their own providers, to run on the same server that runs Harvest LIS, to access the same database, and to work well over the Internet.
Orchard® Copia®
Copia is designed to take access and laboratory networking needs to the next level. It is designed for labs doing reference lab work from multiple customers, handling wide access for several separate legal business entities, supporting multiple lab settings, holding more data in a larger database, and putting more interfacing capabilities into the hands of the laboratory.
Flexible Rules-based Decision-Support Technology
Customizable rules exist throughout each system for order entry, splitting orders, auto-approval of patient results, reflexing additional testing, automatic comments, result delivery, and billing/CPT codes, and they can be defined based on numerous data fields, such as by user, order location, test, or day of the week.
Automatic ICD-9 Code Checking
During order entry, both systems checkmedical necessity, frequency, and ICD-9 codes and flag questionable orders for review. When necessary, an ABN can be printed in either English or Spanish. These checks happen automatically, saving time and maximizing reimbursements.
Accurate Remote Sample Collection
With either system, you can review patient orders remotely from any PC with web access, and preview a draw list, generate a worklist, produce bar code labels, or complete a shipping manifest. Clinical questions, container type information, and personalized comments are presented on-screen or printed for each order, reducing errors and expediting collection.
Secure Access to Results 24/7
From any PC with web access, providers can view the patient’s current result, the result with previous history, or even display a graph comparing all current and past results. Various security settings provide the necessary flexibility for secure access while maintaining HIPAA compliance.
Easy Data Mining & Management Reports
Data browser tools, available only in Copia, allow you to create and save ad hoc management reports directly from your desktop PC. You can schedule reports to run automatically, and the user-friendly interface does not require complex programming or the help of the IT department.
Automated Order Routing
Copia is designed to integrate and support a lab network, where order entry involves multiple lab systems—even multiple
workstations—and users have to review a patient’s insurance before routing the test. Copia, as the central ordering
system, automatically handles the location-dependent test codes, patient insurance, and lab routing preferences.
Customized, Consolidated, and Consistent Reporting
A bonus feature of Copia is its customized report formats, which can combine patient test results from one or more laboratories into a single report. With authorized access, providers may review current and past results, both in text and graphic formats. This improves the quality of your reports and facilitates informed decision making.
Link Your Labs and Keep Your LIS
Copia is designed to work with Harvest LIS or as a “bolt on” outreach system to existing lab systems. For multiple lab locations with disparate LISs, Copia can be used to link the disparate lab systems and create a single depository database for patient results.
