[Histonet] HIS-Copath-Paperless Order Entry

[Gagnon, Eric]

Have any histonetters had experience with paperless order entry using a HIS-Copath interface?  All our clinical laboratories have just gone to paperless order entry on patient floors and clinics, and would be interested in any other sites' experiences that use these same systems.

We have already found that pathology order entry is quite different from other clinical laboratories that now receive pre-barcoded tubes of blood that are instrument-ready.  Pathology has not been quite that straightforward.

Thanks for any experiences or advice you wish to share,
