Print the Form

Printing out the pathology request form from Bp VIP.net does not automatically submit the order to Eclair and include the request on the front page of the order history. You must click Place Order to send the e-order through to the pathology lab. However, the patient must still present at the pathology provider with a printed copy of the form. The technician will scan the form to ensure the correct patient is matched with the correct order.

From the Eclair screen that shows existing and historical orders, select the order to print and click Print Form from the row of buttons along the bottom.

How do I get my results?

The results will import into Bp VIP.net through HealthLink.

5. Set the schedule for the repeating order and click Next to proceed to the review window.



6. Review your order details and click Place Order.

Modify an Order

If you are amending an Eclair order, only add or subtract tests for the same type of test, e.g. blood tests. If you are adding a different type of test, such as urine test, this test will not be seen in the resubmitted order. Best Practice Software advise to create a separate order for new tests of a different type.

New tests are added onto the existing order number and bar code. New test types will not be picked up when the patient has their printed form scanned at the pathology provider.

If you have amended a form, when you click Place Order a copy will not be reprinted. Manually click the Print Form button from the main order screen in Eclair to print a new copy.

1. Select Medical > Investigation Orders, select the order to change, and click Modify.
2. Click the Eclair button.
3. Select the order that requires amending and click Amend.

IMPORTANT   If an order is displayed in the bottom part of the main order screen, the test has already been collected or received by the lab and cannot be amended in Eclair Orders. Contact the lab directly to discuss the amendments to the test.

4. Once completed, continue and click Place Order when completed.

Delete an order

1. Click Medical > Investigation Orders, select the order, and click Modify.
2. Click the Eclair button.
3. Select the order that requires deletion and click Delete.
4. Complete the reason for deletion.
