Orchard Harvest™ LIS Microbiology Module Training Course

Prerequisites

The Harvest Microbiology Module training course is considered a basic level class. No prior knowledge of Harvest LIS is required.

Course Description

This course teaches you the necessary concepts and skills required to configure and implement the module in your laboratory.

• Practice setting up microbiology lab tests and order choices.
• Define sample types and establish microbiology-related system preferences.
• Learn to use the module’s “electronic worksheet” for paperless microbiology processing.
• Incorporate clinical questions, text shortcuts, and order choice statuses into the Harvest Microbiology Module.
• Set up the necessary interfaces with instrumentation. The Harvest Microbiology Module currently has interfaces to the Dade Microscan and Biomerieaux Vitek microbiology systems.
• Meet with Orchard associates from Technical Support, Operations, Development, and Marketing to learn more about the latest projects.

During the course, you will receive class time to create and run microbiology orders, which allows you to use the module’s electronic worksheet to document the workflow of microbiology samples from the time they are plated through completion and reporting.

Outside the classroom, you will have some time to enjoy the restaurants, shopping, and attractions in the Indianapolis area.
