Accuro: Mapping Answers from an Ocean eForm to a Lab Value

Tag your measurement in your Ocean eForm.

• When you are building your eForms, if you "tag" a caption or custom note by surrounding a single word with "@" and ": $$", then the value will be available for use with EMR field mapping.
  

  Please note: a tagged field cannot contain spaces. For example, "@myLabValue: $$" would be correct, but "@my Lab Value: $$" would not work.

  An example of an eForm tagged field can be found in the screenshot to the right or in the note generated by this standard PHQ-9 questionnaire.
• 

Create a lab value in Accuro for your Ocean answer.

• Log in to Accuro and enter the EMR section's Encounter Notes tab.
• 
• Click on the green plus sign in the "Labs" panel to create a new lab test.

• This will open up the Lab Tests dialog box, where you can add a new lab test by clicking on the green plus sign.
• 

• This will open up the Edit Lab Tests dialog box, where you can add new lab test results by clicking on the green plus sign.
• 

• This will then open up the Lab Results dialog box, where you can add new lab test result by clicking on the New button at the bottom, or selecting an existing result from the list.
• 

• Creating a new result will open up the Edit Result dialog box, where you can define the data type and units.
• 
• Leave the "Source Code" field blank.

• Click the green plus sign to add a reference range for your lab result (if applicable).
• 
• Click "OK" when you're done editing your result.
• Back in the lab results window, ensure your result is selected and click "OK."

• You should now see your new lab test results appear in your "Edit Lab Test" dialog box.
• 
• Click "OK" to save your new lab test.

Create the corresponding lab value in your Ocean Portal.

• Login to the Ocean Portal. Click the "Menu" button in the top left corner and select "Admin".
• 
• From the Admin Settings page, click "EMR Field Mapping".

• Add a new row and confirm the following:
  
  

  First, ensure the "Type" dropdown is set to "Lab Value."

  "Tagged Field" must match the tagged value defined in your Ocean eForm. (Do not include the "@", ":", or "$$" symbols in this field.)

  "EMR Field" must correspond and match exactly the lab test name, defined in Accuro.

  "EMR Sub-Field" must correspond and match exactly the lab result name, defined in Accuro.

• 

• Be sure to save your changes.

Test out your new custom lab value.

• Now, if a patient completes a questionnaire with your lab value, the measurement will then be set in the "Labs" panel of their Encounter Notes in Accuro.
