Adding or Editing Test Details

Note: If a test is assigned to any results, you may only edit the test name and description. If the LOINC is blank, then you may also add the LOINC. If you are adding a new test or if the test is not assigned to any result, then all of the fields are editable.

1. Open the Test details page. See "Viewing the Test List" above.
2. Enter the test name in the Name field. Copia displays this value on patient lab reports. This field is required. When Copia automatically creates the test from results, it sets the name to the order choice's abbreviation; however, you may edit this field, if desired, to modify what appears on patient lab reports.
3. Enter the abbreviation for the test in the Abbreviation field.
4. Enter a description of the test in the Description field.
5. Enter the Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes identifier in the LOINC field, if needed.
6. Enter the host code for the test in the Host Code field.
7. To edit the test fields, highlight or delete text already displayed in the fields, then modify as desired.
8. Select a test type from the Accession Pathology page history report test type drop-down list to select a history report test type for the Accession Pathology page. Select either "None," "Final Diagnosis," or "Additional Diagnosis" from the list.
9. Select the Suppress test from appearing on "Previous Tests Reported for" list checkbox to have Copia suppress the test from appearing on the "Previous Tests Reported for" list.
10. Select the Insert title before this test on reports checkbox to display a title above tests on Standard, Alternate, and Custom result reports. When you select this option, Copia allows you to customize the title with the following fields:
    • Title Text: Enter the text that should appear as the title. Leave this field blank to include a blank line above the test on the report.
    • Color title with a gray background: Select this option to have the title appear on a gray background.
11. Click < Back to List to return to the Test list page without saving any changes.
12. Click Save to record changes and return to the Test list page.
