Ask at Order Entry(Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Order Entry question)
ASC
Ask at Specimen Collection(Sub-type of QST (Question) - OBX-5 value is answer to an Ask at Specimen Collection question)
MCS
Micro Culture Status
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that give overall culture outcome, when no specific organism is being named.
Internal: Examples are: no growth, normal flora
New
MID
Micro Isolate Descriptor
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies any other observations about the isolate.
Internal: Examples: catalase positive, hemolytic, etc.
New
MIG
Micro Isolate Growth Quantity
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies growth levels of an isolate – can be numeric or categorical.
Internal: Examples: <10,000 CFU, >100,00 CFU, Few, Moderate, Many, etc.
New
MIN
Micro Isolate Name
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that name a specific organism either at the species or the genus level.
Internal: Examples are: Genus Serratia, Neisseria meningitidis, Escherichia coli O157:H7, but also identification on a culture plate like presumptive Proteus species.
New
MIR
Micro Isolate Related(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies the result as an isolate.)
Deprecated
MIRM
Micro Isolate Related Modifier(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result is a modifier of the isolate (e.g., Few, Some, etc.))
Deprecated
MNIR
Micro Non-Isolate Related(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - qualifies result as microbiology not related to any isolate (e.g., gram stain observations))
Deprecated
MOD
Micro Other Descriptor
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations that do not fit the culture status, but is not at the isolate level.
New
MSS
Micro Sample Stain
Sub-type of RSLT (Result) This term identifies observations on gram stains (and other stains or smears) on the clinical sample.
Internal: Examples are: many gram positive rods, acid fast bacteria seen, etc.
SUP
Supplemental Result(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result coming over is additional material, for example points on a graph, an image, raw instrument data, links to related observations, etc.)
SUR
Susceptibility Related(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result value is for micro susceptibility/sensitivity)
UNSP
Unspecified(Sub-type of RSLT (Result) - result falls outside of the other sub-types.)
