How do I receive labcorp results into Charm EHR?
LabCorp has to initiate the process to interface your lab results with Charm EHR. Inform your LabCorp representative about your decision to go with Charm EHR. Ask them to contact us at lab-requests@medicalmine.com.

How can we group LabCorp results?
From 'Labs > Lab Results', we can view the LabCorp results grouped together. You can even take a print of the grouped results.

How to re-assign the reviewer of Lab results?
In 'Labs > Lab Results',

  1. Select a particular lab result
  2. Change the reviewer
  3. Click on “Save”.

How to add new labs, tests, and parameters?
Add and Customize new labs, tests, and parameters in the 'Labs > Customize Labs' section. You can find the detailed steps in this link.

How does lab interface integration work with Charm EHR and its advantages?
Lab interfaces will help you in sending orders electronically to labs from your Charm EHR account and receive results electronically from labs into your account. With Charm EHR you can connect to multiple labs electronically. Interfacing allows Charm EHR clients to safely share information across operations.

If you have an in-house lab, the specimen can be drawn in your facility and an order can be placed directly to Lab Information System. Orders can also be placed directly with the Patient Service Centre from where the Patient can get their tests performed.
