Add a pathology or imaging provider

 A lab is a Bp Premier contact with a category of 'pathology provider' or 'imaging provider'. A user must have the Contacts user permission set to 'Add/Edit/Delete' to create and update lab contacts.

1. From the Bp Premier main screen, select View > Contacts. The Contacts screen will appear.
2. Click Add new. The Contact details screen will appear.



3. Select the Company/Institution radio button.
4. Select 'Pathology provider' or 'Imaging provider' from the Category drop down list. (If this option does not appear in the list, you will have to recreate the contact category.)
5. Complete the rest of the fields for the laboratory.
6. If the Messaging provider you select has Accept CDA referrals enabled, you will be able to send CDA-formatted eReferrals to this contact.
7. Click Save.

The next time an investigation request is made, the new lab will appear as an option from the Laboratory drop-down of the Pathology request or Imaging request screens.
