User Training
Orchard knows that the better trained you are on your lab system, the more you can take advantage
of each of the features to help your laboratory be more productive and efficient. To maximize
your understanding and the use of the numerous features and rules-based technology, Orchard offers four different week-long training classes held numerous times throughout the year at our headquarters
in Carmel, Indiana. Three of classes are accredited through the ASCLS P.A.C.E.® program.

Orchard Software’s week-long comprehensive System Administrator class is designed for our new customers. Prior to on-site installation, this class helps you learn the necessary concepts and skills required to work with your Orchard Systems Engineer to configure and implement Harvest LIS in your laboratory.
Advanced User Training (P.A.C.E.® accredited for 30.5 Contact Hours)
Orchard’s Advanced User Training class is for customers who have mastered the basics of Harvest LIS and are looking to expand their knowledge. Using the latest features, this week-long course teaches you how to enhance your productivity and maintain your system, and it introduces you to optional modules, such as Microbiology, Harvest Webstation, and Anatomic Pathology.
“I attend the Advanced User Training yearly and find it very beneficial for several reasons. Orchard usually has a new software
version yearly, so this gives the super user the opportunity to learn the new version before going live. I usually will go to class to learn about the new version then come back to work and install it. We are also on the Gold plan to include attending
training class yearly. As a super user you probably have other duties besides this task and going to the class gives you the opportunity to learn so many features to the software and interact “I highly recommend the [Harvest
LIS Advanced User] class even if you have gone to one in the past. Each user has set up Harvest in their own unique manner and you learn so much talking to other users and the knowledgeable Orchard staff. Each Harvest version contains so many enhancements and this is the best way to learn about them and see new ways of using Harvest.
A very definite plus: Orchard treats its customers better than any other vendor I have worked with! They always manage to surprise me by giving me more than I expected. Keep up the good work.” “I am currently attending
the Advanced User Training in Carmel. I HIGHLY recomend this to everyone....We are only on the begining of the 3rd day and it has surpassed my expectations... |
