Ease of Use
The graphical user interface of the Orchard Harvest™ LIS makes it an extremely intuitive and user-friendly laboratory information system. Initial training and orientation time is reduced, allowing the staff to focus on producing results rather than learning extensive menus and commands. New employee training is easily managed.

Selecting Profiles: Profiles combine frequently ordered order choices into one group of order choices. Using profiles may help you save time during order entry because you only need to select one profile instead of selecting individual order choices. You may also define a profile for a single order choice instead of multiple order choices. This allows you to link multiple, different names to a single order choice, so users don’t have to enter an exact match to an order choice abbreviation to add it to an order. |

Split Order Rules: To facilitate order handling, Harvest LIS can automatically split and/or defer orders using split order rules that are based on the sample types, storage temperatures, testing locations, order locations, or order choice types (micro, hematology, etc.) of the order choices in the order. |

Ordering Testing: Orders can be accepted electronically or entered manually. When done manually, the Order Patient Samples window allows intuitive entry of order choices, ICD-9 codes, sample comments, and other information. The patient's insurance information and appropriate destination for order choices (under that payor contract) are displayed. |

|
Patient Files: Patients can be located by using all or part of their name or patient ID. Historical results can be easily reprinted or faxed. Notes on each patient are organized by date. |
|
|
Manual Differential: Harvest LIS' keyboard-based manual differential window gives you a customizable, easy to use alternative to manual diff pads. |
|
|
Microbiology: Microbiology processing is made paperless using Harvest LIS' Microbiology Module. The main Microbiology window functions as an electronic worksheet that interfaces to popular microbiology analyzers. |

Hematology
Review: Harvest LIS' advanced Hematology review window allows
you to view scatterplots, histograms, historical results, and manual
differential data all in one place. |
