New: Quick Request Option for MLL Order Entry

For four years, we have been offering you, our submitters, digital order entry, the MLL order entry portal*. Query findings from anywhere and at any time, track the submitted sample live, place orders digitally, and much more: our order entry system is a modern alternative to paper-based requests.

Of course, we want to make our order entry as intuitive and user-friendly as possible for you. What can we do even better? What can be presented more clearly? We have discussed these and other questions with you and collected your feedback. Based on this, we have improved our order entry for you and once again made it more time-saving and intuitive. We are pleased to present all of the innovations to you in the following article.

Just a few clicks to the finished order

Brief information on diagnosis, material, disease status, and blood count – that’s all we need from you here (see Fig. 1).

All other information is filled in automatically, including in particular the selection of suitable diagnostic methods for the (suspected) diagnosis. In doing so, we are following the current guidelines and recommendations of the professional associations.

Before submitting the order, you have the option to do a final review. Individual adjustment of the order is of course still possible here (see Fig. 2).

If you want to add detailed information, e.g., the testing of individual genes, this can be done in the usual entry form in the separate menu for detailed requests.

If you do not have certain diagnostic methods performed by us, we can now save this information so that these analyses are no longer proposed by the algorithm. So please let us know by email or phone if this is the case for you.


Individual standard profiles

Another request that we have often heard from you in this context is saving individual profiles based on the (suspected) diagnosis. For the most common disease entities, you normally have to repeatedly submit identical requests for testing: For these cases, wouldn’t it be more convenient to send the preferred request for these with a single click?

To comply with this request, we have created some profiles for the most common diagnoses. Except for the material, all of the information is already filled in, either according to your personal wishes or according to current guidelines and recommendations (see Fig. 3).

We would be happy to expand or modify these profiles according to your individual requirements. Send us your preferences for each of the diagnoses by email or phone, and we will save them for you as specific standard profiles in your personalized order entry module.


Conclusion

The workflows and processes in each of your practices and clinics, and thus also the procedure for order entry, are very heterogeneous:

Some of you prefer to prepare requests for testing in detail yourself, while others want to place it as quickly and easily as possible given the high time pressure.

It is therefore important to us to respond to your individual needs and to provide an efficient and customized method of order entry.

If you would also like to benefit from the advantages of flexible digital order entry or have any questions about the new quick request, please contact us over the phone at +49 (0)89 99017-551 or via email at orderentry@mll.com.


*Please note, that the MLL Order Entry Portal is only available in German language at this time.
