Lab download program change dates at HSC

• From June 1988 to late 1993, all lab test were manually counted from charts or computer screen from old OER (Order Entry/Results Reporting System).

• OER changed to RTS (Results Reporting System) March 26, 2002.

• Blood gas downloading (AO2) started May 3, 2004.

• Interfacing with the new DELPHIC Results Reporting System (RTS) started:
  • March 6, 2006 @ 0700 hours for Chemistry and Hematology
  • March 27, 2007 @ 0800 hours for Microbiology

• The HSC lab 1993 lab extractor program was written by Wes Brown and Vance McFadden from computer services here at HSC.
• The program was rewritten by Eric Brusse, when HSC changed from OER to RTS March 26, 2002. At the time Eric apparently put together a some sort of powerhouse screen to perform a similar function against the new RTS.
• Eric also had to rewrite some of the program again in March 2006 when HSC changed to the new DELPHIC lab system.
