We have been sending ORU results from Misys to Cerner Millennium for several years. Misys considers “Performing Lab” the department that did the test, i.e. BB for Blood Bank, MC for Micro, etc. This code is sent to Cerner in OBR-24 (Diagnostic service section ID). OBR-21 is blank on our results to Cerner because Misys does not populate that field.
This has never been a problem for us, but our Cerner order entry/result setup may be different than yours.
