Drug Testing Guide

This guide provides comprehensive instructions for using SYSTOC's drug test features. It includes the setup of each screen in file maintenance, the workflow surrounding orders and specimen collection, and the workflow for manually entering drug test results or handling imported results via the HL7 Drug Test Interface. After results are entered, the guide provides methods for MRO review, reporting, and a method for monitoring compliance.

There are some differences in the setup of SYSTOC between manually entered drug test results and imported results using the HL7 Drug Test Interface. These are clearly identified. Consider using the settings designed for the drug test interface even if you do not currently use it. These settings may save you time later if you decide to implement the drug test interface.

HL7 Drug Test Interface users should also be familiar with manual data entry of results because unforeseen circumstances may require manual data entry as a backup. The HL7 Drug Test Interface is one of the modules available in the SYSTOC HL7 Exchange.
