  • Name: Name of the lab test that will be sent to the laboratory.

  • Order ID: Unique identifier for the lab test; to be used for test identification by the reference lab.

  • Order Addition:  An additional metadata field which can be leveraged for orders or labels.

  • Specimen Container:  The required container into which a sample must be collected for the given test.  If a lab panel consists of tests with different container types, each container will need to be verified during data collection. 

  • Reference Range:  Acceptable non-numeric test result range used only for eligibility determination.  Ranges provided by the reference lab will never be overridden by this field.

  • Reference Range Low:  Acceptable low test result limit used only for eligibility determination.  Limits provided by the reference lab will never be overridden by this field.

  • Reference Range High: Acceptable high test result limit used only for eligibility determination.  Limits provided by the reference lab will never be overridden by this field.

  • Units:  Defines the expected units of returned results for organizational purposes.  Units provided by the reference lab will never be overridden by this field.

  • Sex (Both, Male, Female):  Defines the gender(s) for which the lab test applies.  If a subject does not match the expected sex for a test, the test will be omitted from the order files for that subject.  

  • Result Type (Coded, Numeric, Text, GreaterThan, LessThan, Range): Defines the expected test result data type for organizational purposes.  Result data type provided by the reference lab will never be overridden by this field.

  • Category:  Defines the nature of the sample (i.e. urine, blood, serum) to be collected for the given test.  Only tests that share the same category may be added to a given lab panel.  

  • SI Conversion Factor:  Converts units of measurement when results must be reported in a different manner than the reference laboratory’s convention.    This is for reference only and not currently used in reports.

  • SI Units: Units to be reported when converting to measurement units other than those defined by the reference laboratory.  .  This is for reference only and not currently used in reports.

Edit a Lab Test

All lab test fields may be edited at any time.  If a lab test has been leveraged as part of a study-specific panel in the Lab > Configure component, edits made in the Administration > Sites component will push through to the study-specific setup.  This means that the global lab interface compendium always serves as the ‘source of truth’.
