Orchard Copia
Orchard® Copia® takes 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, serving as a lab hub integration solution and results depository in a large database, and putting more interfacing capabilities into the hands of the laboratory. Designed to work with Orchard’s laboratory system or as an add-on to your existing system, Orchard Copia’s Java-based application is a front-end, web-based outreach system designed to increase your lab’s marketability by providing easy access and direct integration to your clients’ EHRs and other information systems.
Meaningful Use of Your Laboratory Data
The 2009 ARRA/HITECH Act incentivized EHR adoption and required use in a meaningful way. Interoperability and the portability of structured clinical data is a driving force behind these incentives. A portion of the Meaningful Use criteria requires Computerized Physician Order Entry (CPOE) and the reporting of laboratory results in a structured manner, e.g., using LOINC as standard identifiers for results transmission into the EHR. To stay competitive, laboratories serving as reference labs for their community will need optimal connectivity to their clients’ EHRs. Orchard Copia is a robust SQL Lab/EHR integration engine designed to link multiple lab sites, provide EHR connectivity, and serve as a central hub and result repository.
A Lab Integration Hub Bringing Locations & Diagnostics Together
The healthcare arena is undergoing immense change, and with the adoption of accountable care, IDNs, ACOs, and other organizations will need to bring multiple healthcare delivery and testing sites together to provide a centralized repository of data that can be accessed from anywhere. Orchard Copia is a central lab hub integration solution that provides EHR connectivity and brings locations and diagnostic data together.
Improve Access, Link Your Labs, and Keep Your LIS
Orchard Copia is designed to work with most existing laboratory information systems, allowing your organization to capture all the advantages of web-based outreach and EHR integration without investing in a new LIS. For multiple lab locations with disparate LISs, Orchard Copia can be used to link different lab systems and create a single database repository for patient results.
Integration with Ease
Orchard Copia serves as the best overall laboratory outreach and integration system. The system integrates seamlessly with all laboratory departments, including clinical and anatomic pathology, microbiology, and other specialties such as molecular diagnostics. The robust interoperability provides a single electronic patient record for all laboratory results that can be automatically transmitted to any provider’s EHR via an interface. Orchard Copia provides strong support for interfacing with other systems as well, such as PMS or billing systems, using the HL7 communication standards.
Interface Management: Be Your Own Integration Expert
"The fact that they will allow us to build our own interfaces—that’s a big plus in my mind."
— BJ Moore, Blount Memorial Hospital.If you choose, you may handle your own interface needs with the continuing education provided at our Orchard Copia Integration class. This four-day training class teaches you the necessary concepts and skills required to configure and manage interfaces in your Orchard Copia system. The class covers HL7 basics, interface configuration, connectivity methods, and management and troubleshooting of all interface activity, so that you can resolve problems more quickly and efficiently.
Centralized, User-configurable Order Entry
With Orchard Copia as the central test management system, users place orders in a single order entry window from any web-enabled PC, and Orchard Copia handles patient insurance, ICD-9/ICD-10 checking, ABN printing, and pre-defined lab routing preferences, saving time and maximizing reimbursements. Phlebotomists can review patient orders, generate a draw list, create bar code labels, or complete a shipping manifest from any web-enabled PC. Orchard Copia ordering incorporates clinical questions, container type information, and personalized comments on-screen or printed for each order, reducing errors and expediting collection. In addition, users can establish customizable user defined fields in the ordering process, with pre-defined values transmittable via the HL7 interface.
Customize Appearance and Report Templates
Orchard Copia makes it easy to customize image, color, and display settings, so that you can apply your organization’s logo to the ordering screens and reporting formats. Layout templates are used to customize report headers, bodies, order choice information, and footers, as well as requisitions, collection lists, manifests, customer versions of the Order Patient Sample page or Demographics page, blank patient requisitions, and form letters.
Flexible Rules-based Decision-support Technology
Configurable 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 you can define them based on numerous data fields, such as user, order location, test, or day of the week.
Secure Access to Results 24/7
Configure Orchard Copia to automatically notify your providers by email when new results are available. 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. Create specific user role security settings to assign certain rights to each Orchard Copia user. Each major user action, from signing in to viewing patient charts, is tracked by the change logs or viewer action logs, available for review or export.
Structured Data for Easy Data Mining and Management Reports
User friendly data mining tools allow you to create and save ad hoc management reports directly from your PC. You can schedule reports to run automatically without complex programming or the help of the IT department. In addition to the ad hoc reporting capabilities of Orchard Copia’s browsers, numerous report options are already available in the system, such as a Billing Summary Report, Completion Report, Order Exceptions Report, Reimbursement Problem Report, turnaround time, Utilization Report, and more. Not only are there built-in reports and data browsers, but an adjunct benefit is the ability to create SQL queries, useful for more in-depth reports. There are many administrative reports that can provide valuable benchmarking data and key performance indicators to offer insight into future strategic business decisions.
Customized, Consolidated, and Consistent Reporting
A bonus feature of Orchard Copia is its customized report format, 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. Depending on your facility needs, there are multiple methods selectable for report delivery, such as HL7 interface, fax, email, remote access printing, direct printing, inbox, or direct dial, each configurable specific to your individual client requirements.
Orchard Copia Client Services Module
As a provider of laboratory outreach services, delivering excellent customer service is paramount to keeping clients satisfied. Along with that priority, another of utmost importance is meeting the regulatory requirements expected of laboratories. Using Orchard Copia Client Services module (CSM) to easily track, document, and organize those outreach services is just one more way Orchard Software provides practical, real-world solutions for our customers. The Client Services module is an optional add-on to the main Orchard Copia outreach solution that enables users to track inbound calls, collect data, monitor supplies provided to clients, run reports, and schedule phlebotomy and courier routes.
Orchard Copia Mobile Module

The Orchard Copia Mobile module provides that on-the-go access to allow providers to retrieve patient data remotely. Using the Orchard Copia Mobile module, users can access Orchard Copia from any supported mobile phone or tablet, such as your iPhone, iPad, or Android device, providing web access to patient results and other Orchard Copia features. In the mobile module, you can look up orders, view patient history, and review reports—remotely and at your convenience.
Orchard Copia Mobile Integrated with Patient Portal
With the changes on the horizon in healthcare, patients are urged to become more active in their individual care. Combine this with the availability of portable devices, and the Orchard Copia Mobile module becomes a feature that patients appreciate. Available with the Mobile module, Orchard Copia’s Patient Portal allows patients to sign into the system via the web and view a PDF of their laboratory report. This makes it easier for patients, wherever they are, to monitor their own results and progress. The HIPAA-compliant security measures in the patient portal ensure that patients can only access their own information.
