Core 10 – Stage 2 Clinical Lab Test Results reports the percentage of orders that were ordered during the reporting period that have a result value that is reported in a positive, negative, or numerical format and the results were incorporated into the Certified EHR Technology as structured data. This measure requires that more than 55% of all clinical lab test results ordered in Prime Suite by the EP during the EHR reporting period whose results are either in a positive/negative or numerical format have a lab result report associated to the order in Prime Suite as structured data. This can be done in Prime Suite electronically or manually utilizing Document Import, Results, or Flowsheets.
Note - This measure requires setup work in Prime Suite: 1. Results and Orders must be reconciled under Vocabulary Reconciliation. 2. Concepts have to be mapped to the appropriate LOINC code to receive numerator credit. 3. If you have multiple lab interfaces, the Results and Orders will need to be mapped for each interface. If you have a PrimeEXCHANGE interface this is much easier to capture, otherwise you will have to enter 55% of your labs manually

This measure counts the number of lab tests ordered during the EHR reporting period by the EP (Eligible Provider) whose results are expressed in a positive or negative affirmation or as a numeric value. Orders with a future order date are not considered for numerator or denominator credit until the order date arrives. Refer to the section below called "Lab Order CPT Codes" for a list of lab CPT codes that will count in the denominator.
There are several ways to enter a lab order in Prime Suite that will count in the denominator. The document must be linked to a visit and a Save action taken on the note to be counted in the denominator. Orders may be added in Prime Suite using one of the 3 workflows:
1. Patient lab orders that were entered/recorded by selecting “Add Order” during the reporting period under the Plan section of a Prime Suite History & Physical, Procedure, Progress, Orders, or Quick Note.
2. Patient lab orders that were entered/recorded by selecting “Add Order Set” during the reporting period under the Plan section of a Prime Suite History & Physical, Procedure, Progress, Orders, or Quick Note.
3. Patient lab orders that were entered/recorded by selecting “In Office Results” under the Results section of a Prime Suite History & Physical, Progress, or Orders Note.
Numerator Criteria
The numerator counts the number of lab test results whose results are expressed in a positive or negative affirmation or as a number which are incorporated as structured data in Prime Suite. The results may be recorded electronically or manually using one of the following four workflows.
1. Lab Results reports that come into Prime Suite via an HL7 lab result interface as structured data. These results must be associated (linked) to the corresponding order.
2. Lab results that come into Prime Suite via Document Import may be saved as structured data by selecting the “Save + Add Results” button which saves the lab report to the patient’s chart and opens the Lab Results – Result Entry dialog box so that the results may be recorded as structured data.
3. Lab Results may be manually recorded in the “Result” section of an H&P, Progress, or Orders Note by selecting “In Office Results” and adding the result manually as structured data.
4. Lab Results may be manually recorded in a Flowsheet by adding the result manually as structured data.
The resulting percentage must be more than 55% in order for an EP to meet this measure.
Exclusions
If an EP orders no lab tests whose results are either in a positive/negative or numeric format during the EHR reporting period they would be excluded from this requirement. EPs must select NO next to the appropriate exclusion, then click the APPLY button in order to attest to the exclusion.
Prime Suite Setup
1. Log into Prime Suite 2. Reconcile Results - This setup must be done to receive numerator credit.
For “step by step” instructions, refer to the section in the Appendix below called "Reconciling Results in Vocabulary Reconciliation."
3. Reconcile Orders - This setup must be done to receive denominator credit.
For “step by step” instructions, refer to the section in the Appendix below called "Reconciling Orders in Vocabulary Reconciliation."
4. Map existing concepts or orders with the appropriate LOINC, CPT or RxNorm codes in Vocabulary
Admin. Results are traditionally are mapped to LOINC codes and Orders will be mapped to CPT/HCPCS codes.
For “step by step” instructions, refer to the section in the Appendix below called "Mapping SNOMED, LOINC or RxNorm Codes."
How to Achieve this Measure
1. Log into Prime Suite
2. Access the Patient List if it is not in focus when the Clinician Desktop loads
The patient must be checked in to associate a visit with the document.
Click on “Greenway” to load the Desktop and Patient List if the user is already logged into Prime Suite and the Clinician Desktop isn’t in view.

CPT Code
Order Date – defaults to Visit Date.
Order Tracking Status – Defaults to “Ordered” or based on the template’s setting
Quantity – defaults to 1
Billable vs Non-Billable – defaults to Billable or based on template’s setting
Stat – defaults to unselected
Ordering Provider – defaults to the billable provider select for the visit. If there is no visit linked; then it defaults to the user that created the note.
