Analytical Work Order Step (Laboratory domain)

The OrderManager tool supports the LAW Profile of the Laboratory Domain. It means that the OrderManager tool is able to send and reveive query for AWOS (Analytical Work Order Step) (LAB-27 transaction) and to send and receive AWOS (LAB-28 transaction). 

Your SUT acts as an Analyzer

As an Analyzer, you may want to send a query for AWOS to our  Analyzer Manager (LAB-27) and receive AWOS from our Analyzer Manager (LAB-28).

Send queries for AWOS to the Analyzer Manager part of the simulator

As defined in the Laboratory Technical Framework Supplement for the Laboratory Analytical Workflow Domain (LAW), the Analyzer can query the Analyzer Manager for a WOS realated to a specimen. This is described in the LAB-27 transaction.

To do so, retrieve the configuration of the Analyzer Manager part of the simulator by going to Laboratory/Analyzer Manager/Configuration.

Receive an AWOS from the Analyzer Manager Simulator

As defined in the Laboratory Technical Framework Supplement for the Laboratory Analytical Workflow Domain (LAW), the Analyzer can receive a new AWOS or a cancelation on an existing AWOS, from the Analyzer Manager. This is described in the LAB-28 transaction.

Going to Laboratory/Analyzer Manager/[LAB-28]Analytical Work Order Step Broadcast, you will reach the page which enables you to configure a new work order or to cancel a work order known by the Analyzer Manager part of the tool.

First at all, select a System Under Test (SUT) configuration in the SUT configuration drop-down list.

For the "Action to perform", you have the choice between 2 different ways :

  • "Create a new order" : Used to create and send a new order to your SUT.  
  1. Select an encounter from the displayed list. Using "Create a new patient and encounter" you will be able to ask for the generation of a new patient with random demographic data, using "Create a new encounter for an existing patient" you will get a new encounter for a patient selected in the displayed list.
  2. You are first asked to fill out the specimen properties (use the "Fill with random values" button for a random filling of the form).
  3. Once you think the specimen is properly defined, click on "Create an order for specimen" button.
  4. A new form appears, fill it out with the work order properties, in the same way as previously the "Fill with random values" button can help you for this task.
  5. Click on "Add to current specimen" button to add the work order to the specimen you have previously created.
  6. If you need more than one work order, click on "Add an order to this specimen" button and repeat steps 3 to 5.
  7. (Note that you can remove a work order from the list using the red "minus" sign located on each row of the table.)
  • "Cancel an existing order"
  1. Select the order to cancel. A pop-up raises, click on "Yes" to send the cancellation message.

Your SUT acts as an Analyzer Manager

As an Analyzer Manager, you may want to receive a query for AWOS from our  Analyzer (LAB-27) and send an AWOS to our Analyzer (LAB-28).

Send queries for AWOS to the Analyzer Manager SUT

As defined in the Laboratory Technical Framework Supplement for the Laboratory Analytical Workflow Domain (LAW), the Analyzer can query the Analyzer Manager for a WOS related to a specimen. This is described in the LAB-27 transaction.

To do so, go to the Laboratory/Analyzer/[LAB-27] Query Analyzer Manager for AWOS. 

First at all, select a System Under Test (SUT) configuration in the SUT configuration drop-down list.

Then, select the "Query Mode" and fill the required parameters values. (See the desciption of the LAB-27 transaction in the LAW Technical Framework Supplement for further details about the usage of the parameters).

Finally, hit the "Send Query" button. The Analyzer Simulator will send the query to the SUT.

Receive an AWOS from the Analyzer Manager SUT

As defined in the Laboratory Technical Framework Supplement for the Laboratory Analytical Workflow Domain (LAW), the Analyzer can receive a new AWOS or a cancelation on an existing AWOS, from the Analyzer Manager. This is described in the LAB-28 transaction.

To do so, retrieve the configuration of the Analyzer part of the simulator by going to Laboratory/Analyzer/Configuration.

If you want to see the awos received by the Analyzer, go to Laboratory/Analyzer/Browse data. The creator of the work orders contained in the message you send is set to SendingApplication_SendingFacility.
