Only '''24''' labs can actually be sent in. You can collect as many as you want, but only those with the highest priority will actually be sent. | |||
=== Which labs should be given preference === | |||
On the rare occasion more than 24 different labs are performed on a patient. | |||
Since we cross-check labs against the TISS, all the labs that are referenced on the TISS need to be sent. | |||
As for the rest, the labs are collected mostly for a cost estimate, so the most expensive ones are of most interest to us. Apparently a request for up-to-date lab costs has been in to the lab people for some time, but there are difficulties in getting an answer. | |||
Once we have updated costs, we would actually change the CCMDB.mdb so it would pick the most important labs automatically based on cost, much like we are now doing for comorbids. | |||
