Functions of the DORNER Order Entry System
The DORNER Order Entry System is designed to make order entry and management in medical laboratories more efficient, secure and user-friendly. With a comprehensive range of functions that can be adapted to the specific requirements of senders and laboratory areas, the software supports smooth communication between all parties involved and enables fast and precise handling of laboratory processes. The main functions of the system are presented below.
1. rule-based recording of performance requirements
Rule-based recording enables efficient and precise order entry in medical laboratories:
- Requirements for all specialist areas: Regardless of the medical discipline, all relevant order data is recorded in a structured and rule-compliant manner in order to increase the accuracy and speed of processing.
- Automatic validation: Predefined rules and checking mechanisms detect and minimize incorrect entries at an early stage, which supports the security and reliability of order entry.
2. individually customizable request masks
Create personalized masks that can be adapted to the needs of the sender and provide an optimal user experience:
- Customizable masks: With our workflow engine, which includes graphical mask design tools, groups of senders can develop specific masks that meet their exact requirements - ideal for different diagnostic and specialist areas. Masks can be customized and created live on screen with the customer if required.
- Wizard-controlled mask for dynamic fast entry: User-friendly wizards enable guided and faster order entry through dynamic masks that optimize the entry process depending on the sender's requirements.
3. barcode label printing for sample identification
Integrated barcode label printing ensures efficient sample management and tracking:
- Direct printing at the sender: Barcodes for the samples can be created and applied directly at the sender, which significantly improves identification and traceability.
- Reliable sample labeling: Barcode labels minimize the risk of mix-ups and allow samples to be reliably assigned throughout the entire diagnostic process.
4. data integration and exchange via i/med Web
The browser-based i/med web platform supports seamless communication and data transfer and offers a high degree of flexibility:
- Direct data transfer: Patient data from doctors' systems is automatically transferred to the laboratory system, which reduces administrative work and eliminates sources of transfer errors.
- Cross-site and cross-carrier data exchange: Different medical institutions and laboratories can efficiently exchange data, regardless of location or carrier, improving collaboration and consistency.
- Mobile availability: Our workflow-based Order Entry can also be used on mobile devices, making it available virtually anywhere there is an internet connection.
5. special module for dialysis requirements
Specific functions for the management of dialysis patients ensure an optimized workflow:
- Automatic import of patient lists: Patient lists are transferred en bloc from dialysis systems to the request screen (if supported), enabling fast and precise serial requests.
- Quarterly dialysis appointment planning: Appointments for dialysis patients can be planned in advance and adjusted at short notice if necessary.
- Serial printing and outgoing scan (optional): Enables high-performance printing of referral slips and barcodes as well as optional outgoing tube inspection including return transmission of request and findings data.
6. collective requests and series requests
Automated collection and series requests facilitate the planning and execution of recurring tests:
- Order series based on patient lists: Requests are created on the basis of existing patient lists and can be used for both current and planned, quarterly recurring orders.
- Direct call from external systems: The request is made directly from physician systems, dialysis programs or hospital information systems (HIS), including automatic transfer of relevant patient data and ICD-10 codes.
- Fast creation of new orders from existing orders: New requests can be created with just a few clicks from orders that have already been requested, further increasing the efficiency and speed of order creation.
7. clear requirement masks according to subject area
Depending on the laboratory area, specifically adapted request masks are available that enable intuitive operation:
- Routine laboratory: Clear and easy-to-navigate screens for everyday laboratory requirements that ensure fast order entry.
- Microbiology: Detailed masks for microbiological requirements that map specific inputs and requirements.
- Special applications: Specific masks for special laboratory requirements that allow precise recording and processing of individual diagnostic requirements.
8. integration into the web-based diagnostic report
Integration into the web-based diagnostic report gives senders direct access to the patient history directly from the Order Entry System:
- Direct access to patient history: The integration makes it possible to view findings and previous examination results directly in Order Entry, which supports a comprehensive overview and well-founded decision-making.
- Efficient management of findings: Customers can access all relevant information on patient history and previous findings in real time without having to switch systems, which significantly improves the continuity and accuracy of diagnostics.
These functions make the DORNER Order Entry System a comprehensive solution for medical laboratories that want to modernize their workflows and reduce sources of error. The rule-based and flexibly customizable entry, comprehensive support in order management and intuitive user guidance make the system an indispensable tool for digital transformation in laboratory operations. DORNER Order Entry simplifies laboratory processes, ensures end-to-end data integrity and offers the security and flexibility that laboratories and senders alike value.
The EBM laboratory reform 2025: a decisive change for medical laboratories
The upcoming EBM laboratory reform 2025 presents medical laboratories with new challenges and will bring about far-reaching changes in billing and the management of laboratory processes. The introduction of new flat rates, the adaptation of billing systems and the increased requirements for digitalization will have a significant impact on laboratories. The financial pressure resulting from the devaluation of numerous laboratory services also requires a strategic adjustment in order to remain efficient and compliant.
Read our article on the EBM laboratory reform 2025 to find out what these changes mean in detail for laboratory operations and how laboratories can optimally adapt their processes and systems to remain competitive and compliant. From cost management to IT security - we shed light on the key aspects and offer solutions to support laboratories during the transition.
