Orders & Results

Orders & Results

The Orders & Results tab provides a view of all agency-initiated orders and matched results, whether solicited or unsolicited. Results are matched to a Client, either automatically by the system using the Client Code or manually by a user. Unmatched, unsolicited results land on the UNSOLICITED page. Filters are available to refine the list of Client orders and results displayed, while icons make it easy to determine pending orders and unacknowledged or acknowledged results. Results are grouped by Lab Order, condensing multiple results for tests ordered at the same time into a single row on the ORDERS & RESULTS or UNSOLICITED pages. A database table, CommonLabOrders, stores the top-level grouping from the ORC segment in the hl7, allowing all the results with the same order number to be treated as a group. The orders and results are visible on a Client’s Timeline, just as before, with one point for each result or a count if multiple results occur on the same day.
