About Mapping Results and Orders
When iKnowMed receives a result received an outside system, like a Lab Information System (LIS), it attempts to match that result with one in iKnowMed. Similarly, iKnowMed can be set up to send an order in a way that an outside system expects to receive it. Use the Map Results/Orders tool to control how iKnowMed matches results and orders and also how they appear in iKnowMed.
For example, an unmapped result displays in the Flowsheet under the Lab Other header. However, a result under Lab Other cannot be graphed. So, to get the full functionality available, map the result to control which Flowsheet header it displays under and how it appears in the Lab, Unified Sign Queue, and Outbound Lab Interface (OLIF) worklist queues.
