Interpath Laboratory, Inc.
Test File Update
As an Interpath customer who receives electronic results or sends electronic orders you may need to be notified when we update our Service Manual. Although we try to keep these changes to a minimum, laboratory medicine is an evolving industry requiring changes to our technology from time to time. Depending on the requirements of your EMR or Hospital Information System you may be required to make similar changes to your system in order to correctly process inbound electronic results and create outbound electronic orders.
If you are uncertain that you are required to update your system we recommend that you contact your vendor for more information. As your laboratory service provider we are available to participate in the discussion with your vendor so that you clearly understand the impact of these changes.
Included in this email:
- This cover letter with a summary of the changes
- Microsoft Word® Document with the detail of these changes to our Service Manual
