EDI: Getting Started – Connect

DrugTestNetwork’s data management system, a drug testing administration software platform, for both drug and alcohol testing, provides the capability to receive test results electronically from the Lab or MRO.  The technology is usually referred to as Electronic Data Interchange, or EDI.  EDI test results are provided as text files with one or multiple test results.  The file is 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.

To see if you have test results, tap the short-cut option at the top of the page:

When the EDI page opens, click the Connect symbol:

A progress window will report if any files are available.  Close the window when it reports the number of new files found.  The underlying page will refresh to show the new files.

This example shows 3 EDI File Records (EFRs) transferred with the connection.
Tap the manage icon to open the EFR and review the records of results and transfer into the reporting tables.

Click HERE to review the page that shows the EDI reports included in the EFR and how to map data elements and start the transfer into the reporting tables.
