LAB ADMIN NOTECARDS BEAKER EXAM
QUESTIONS AND ANSWERS
Accession - ANSWER Where the test will be performed, what
containers, which lab and section
Container sharing - ANSWER •Both specimens must have the same
specimen source when ordered.
•The tests ordered for the patient must have the same collection
container specified in their accessioning logic.
•There must be an appropriate level of sharing entered in the Container
sharing field of both tests.
•The sum of the minimum volumes required for both tests must be less
than the tube volume specified in the container record.
Options for container sharing - ANSWER •No sharing: Containers for
this test cannot be shared. This is the default setting.
•Among sections in lab: Containers can be shared with other tests
among different sections within a laboratory.
•Among section codes in section: Containers can be shared with other
tests among different section codes within a section.
•Within section code only: Containers can be shared with other tests
within a particular section code.
,•Across labs: Containers can be shared between separate performing
labs
Test Record - ANSWER •Tests are a fundamental part of Beaker
because they determine how specimens in the laboratory are processed.
Each test you create is a test record in the Test (OVT) master file. The
test record stores information such as the test's synonyms, the result
type for the test, the test's components, which laboratories and sections
can perform the test, and much more.
•Test records are the organizational hub of all the records Beaker needs
to support end user workflows. In each test record, you will link to the
components and the procedures that you already built, as well as other
important information, like chargeable procedures, containers for
collecting specimens, and performing labs.
Accessioning Setup Form - ANSWER •where you define every single lab
at your organization that can result this test. For each laboratory you
enter, you can specify which sections are authorized to process the test,
which containers may be used, and whether multiple tests may share
the same container.
•will not occur unless one or more laboratories are listed here. If there
are multiple laboratories listed, it will be accessioned into the first of
these labs listed in the department record where the user is logged in
while accessioning. If no match is found there, the location is consulted,
followed by the facility record.
Where will the Test be Resulted? - ANSWER •Department > location >
facility
•When a user collects a specimen, the system evaluates settings in both
the department record and the test record to determine which lab will
, perform the test. This information is needed to assign the correct
specimen ID and anticipate where the specimen will ultimately be sent
and resulted. Recall that lab abbreviation and section code are pieces of
the specimen ID that will be generated.
Test Accessioning - ANSWER •This system determines where a test
should be accessioned in two steps:
◦Beaker first checks the Accession Into Labs in the Following Order table
in the department record where the user is logged in to see which
laboratories are available for accessioning.
◦Often, the laboratory linked to that department (if applicable) is listed
first.
◦Beaker then checks the Accessioning Setup form of the test record to
see if the first laboratory listed in the department record is listed there as
well. The order of the labs in the test record does not matter.
Lab Accessioning Rules - ANSWER •If the lab is listed in the test record,
the test accessions into (will be resulted in) that lab.
•If the lab is not listed in the test record, the next laboratory in the
department record is consulted, and so on.
•If no match is found from the department record, the same process is
continued using the same table in location record.
•If no match is found from the location record, the same process is
continued using the facility record.
