Enable Lab Exchange

• Setting to turn on/off the Lab Exchange module. As of 09/19/2011, the way to sign up for this module was described as:

• "The Lab Results does not require an interface to an outside lab, that just makes it easier to "incorporate' results. Medical Information Integration, LLC results interface is to LabCorp. The cost to support Results-Only LEN is $25/m per facility. However, you have to be approved by LabCorp before they will allow it. We are working a Orders+Results interface with LabCorp and Quest right now ($50/m) and we have a Results interface with Soltas Labs. All of those require the Lab itself to approve access. Nothing I can do about that, the labs have complete control."
