DrugTestNetwork’s Drug Testing Program Management Software for both drug and alcohol testing, provides the capability to manage test results electronically transferred from the Lab or MRO.
The technology is called EDI: Electronic Data Interchange. EDI test results are provided as a text file, contain one or multiple test results, and referred to as the EDI File Record.
When the EDI module receives a file, the contents are processed and a test result record is created for each report in the file. EDI test results are maintained separately from the reports that are provided to clients. The steps to transfer an EDI result into the reporting tables is referred to as Resolving EDI Records.
To review your EDI File Records, tap the short-cut option at the top of the page:
When the page opens, it automatically lists the EDI File Records (EFR) received within the last 30 days. By default, only EFRs with one or more results not yet transferred into the reporting tables are displayed. To include EFRs that have had ALL results transferred, choose the option: ALL.
To List files by date, enter the calendar period and press the List button:
When the EDI File Records (EFR) are listed, tap the Manage icon to open the EDI File Record and review the test results included: when that page opens, you’ll find Help and Overview options to explain what’s presented and how to proceed.
