On Tuesday, Jan. 7, you will see changes to the ABN Status list in Epic, making it easier to select the appropriate status from available options.
In an effort to optimize workflows, the ABN statuses in Epic have been changed to be more efficient. Some statuses have been removed based on volume of use and feedback from clinicians. Other options have been changed to ensure clarity after review by Informatics, Compliance, and Revenue Cycle. The information below lists the new options and when to use them. Please refer to Epic Proportions for more information.
Attention providers: to reduce your ABN workflow burden, please select one of the first two Provider ABN statuses at the time of order entry only. The collection of signed ABN waivers will occur later by office, laboratory, or imaging staff using the three ABN Signed statuses when the specimen is being collected or when the imaging procedure is being performed. If your office routinely collects laboratory specimens, please instruct your staff to collect ABN signature waiver at the time of specimen collection.
Status Options Available after January 7, 2025:

On 10/31/23, a change was made to lab specimen labels, which included a patient’s preferred name on the label, if it is documented in Epic. This highlighted a change in the names of label types seen by staff when reprinting specimen labels in Epic. Due to a mix of Intermec and Zebra printers across the entire Corewell Health system, defaults needed to be removed from Epic build to account for these differences. Users will now be required to manually choose the correct label type when reprinting labels. The Collection Activity behavior should remain the same.
