Setting Up Area Account Record
- Go to the Lab Page

- Create a Lab Identifier Record. (example shown)

- The area will automatically be filled in for you. It is the area code for the area account you are in.
- Name the lab what you wish, as it is only for your information.
- The Lab_Doc_ID must be exactly what is in the Lab Result files sent to you, an ID the lab doesnt tell you. MediFile will show it in the problem report, following the first file import.
- The sample files sent to Jonoke indicate that it is the Surname (no Space) (a comma) Initial(s) and a period.
