File #60: LABORATORY TEST

This is the file that holds the names and ordering, display of tests

File #68: ACCESSION

   This file contains entries which represent the functional
   subdivisions or departments of the laboratory (e.g. microbiology,
   hematology, blood bank etc.), referred to by the Laboratory 
   package software as accession areas.  The file is used to
   define the site-specific information needed by your laboratory for
   each accession area.  

File #69: LAB ORDER ENTRY

   This file controls the orderly sequence of lab test ordering. 
   This file is pointed to by many other files, and supplies information 
   for order entry and order status output.  No editing of the 
   entries should take place, as it may cause corruption or loss of 
   ordering information.
