  4. WellSky is a rough system. We recently switched to WellSky/Epic-Beaker, it wasn't from SunQuest but was from Cerner Millenium. It has been about 6 months since go-live and some techs are still having problems with it. It is very cumbersome. Some tasks that used to only take 5 clicks of a mouse now takes 30. Everything just takes so much longer. Only thing I see so far as being better with WellSky is the Emergency Release module. It works perfectly, easy to use and very quick. You have to be very careful in how everything is done, one step missed or done in a different order causes all sorts of issues, especially with the interface to Epic/Beaker. I never realized how spoiled I was with Cerner and all it did for me. WellSky is very hands on and manual. Alot of things that used to be automatic now have to be manually done, like billing, demographic changes, cancelling multiple parts of an order. My biggest advice is to get as much practice as you can with the system. I had to do all the validation for it, so I was very comfortable by the time go-live came, but my techs struggled alot, still do. You will be frustrated at first, but it does get easier, and starts to make sense. It is truly the worst system I have worked with.
  5. We just recently went to WellSky and Epic/Beaker 3 months ago. It has been a huge learning curve, trying to figure out what interfaces correctly and how. I have had to manually put in interps in Beaker at the beginning due to interface issues. It is definitely possible to do. I would guess you could get a test code made for just Beaker, but it sounds like the easiest way to go about it would be do result your actual reaction strengths as a comment that they would be able to see. We have a few tests that we result only in Beaker as a "see comment" and then put what is needed in the comment section. Mostly for reference lab test, like antibody titers, KLB's, etc. I am not sure about the whole guidelines on only resulting it in Beaker to avoid an ABO discrepancy work-up though. Sorry. Hope this helps somewhat.
