How to write orders for BAKO

October 31st, 2018

BAKO does not want us to utilize LOINC codes when sending them orders via the orders system.  We are going to be updating the program to send orders to them electronically shortly, but for now, please follow the below instructions when helping / teaching clients how to enter BAKO orders.

Step-by-step guide

Set up BAKO as a Pathology order, not a lab order.  If you do not see Pathology on your list, click "New Order Type" on the right side of the orders screen.

To add the items to the orders program: 

  1. Click on "Add Item" on the upper left
  2. Click on "New Item" on the lower right
  3. Type in the Order Code item (one by one) you see below.
