Update to CGM LABDAQ v24.4

Introduced in summer 2024, CGM LABDAQ v24.4 features improvements to the audit report search, an expansion of the rules engine for microbiology and billing, and more.

• Auditing improvements
  • Includes the ability to search and view the audit log for reporting type (to see only physician reports, for example)
• Improvements to the PCR Linking option
  • This software option supports the use of PCR tests for microbiology tests. New improvements include:
    • Ability to suppress PCR Analyzer Results on a panel (since not all isolates tested for may be on a particular panel) and confine the results to panel-specific organisms
    • If an isolate result is rejected, all its sub-tests will automatically be rejected
• Rules expansion for more robust microbiology and billing
  • Microbiology Rules improvements (also relevant to the PCR Linking option) where users can now leverage the following:
    • The new criteria of Result Flag Result Qualifier
    • The new action of Unsuppress an isolate
  • Billing Rule improvements
    • Users can leverage Result Flag and Result Qualifier
• Interface Management improvements
  • Users can see Work Order information when looking up Work Orders by accession in the reconciler, plus more information about the panel
  • The new Error Counts Alert enables users to set an alert for import and export errors that exceed x errors per y minutes for prompt troubleshooting
