Harvest Webstation enables you to connect to Harvest from any location that has Internet access. This
means that outlying doctor's offices and clinics can more easily
take advantage of Harvest resources, placing orders and reviewing
results electronically.
Before you may place an order, you must have a valid user name
and password to sign into the Harvest Webstation, as well as the
necessary security settings to place orders. All of these are
created and maintained in Harvest. Contact the Harvest
System Administrator if you need assistance with your user name,
password, or security settings.
Complete the following steps to place an order:
- Enter your user name and password in the Sign
In page in Harvest Webstation.
- Your Harvest Webstation homepage appears.
Note that there are different homepages depending on whether
you sign in as a provider or as a technologist:
- Click the Order Samples link in the Harvest Webstation
window to launch the first order entry page.
- The Order Samples: Patient & Order Choices page appears.
- Enter the order information for the patient, such as the
patient name, the ordering provider, the order choices, and
the diagnosis codes (if applicable). See Order
Samples: Patient & Order Choices for complete details
on what you need to enter in this page.
- Click Next to continue to the final order entry
page.
- The Order Samples: Sample Info page appears.
- Enter the sample information for the order, such as the
sample draw date and time, any Sample ID comments, or the
encounter number. You should review the ABN status, if necessary,
as well as modify the delivery options, if applicable. You
may also modify the order choice information prior to saving
the order.
See Order Samples: Sample Information
for complete details on what you need to enter in this page.
- After you have verified that the order is correct, save
the order by clicking either the Save as Recurring
or Save Order button.
- If you click the Save as Recurring button, the
Save as a Recurring Order
page appears, allowing you to schedule the recurrences.
- If you click the Save Order button, the Unreleased
Order Details page appears, displaying the order and
confirming that the order was saved.
See Order Samples: Sample Information
for more information on saving orders.
- Depending on the settings for Harvest Webstation, you may
see some additional pages before the order is saved. See Clinical Questions,
Printing Requisitions,
or Printing Invoices
for more information on these pages. Note that if the system
administrator for Harvest has disabled invoices for Harvest
Webstation, but the system is configured to automatically
print invoices in Harvest Webstation, then Harvest Webstation
will alert you to the problem, and it will not print an invoice.
- After you have saved the order, Harvest Webstation automatically
displays the order in the Unreleased
Order Details page, indicating that you have successfully
placed the order. From this page, you may view all of the
order details, print the order, print labels for the order,
print invoices, or delete the order.
- You may continue placing orders by repeating the steps
above, or you may search for patient results. See How
Do I Find Patient Results? for a general overview on searching
for patient results in Harvest Webstation.
What happens after you place an order:
All orders that you place in Harvest Webstation are sent to
the Release Stored Orders window in Harvest. A Harvest
user must accession these orders into the database so that the
orders may be run.
After the orders are run and Harvest receives the results,
it will deliver the results via print, fax, email, or Harvest
Webstation, depending on the settings for the provider and location,
as well as the CC recipient and delivery settings you entered
when you placed the order (see above).
See the Harvest online help for more information.
