Adding and Removing Tests in a Draft Lab Order

Managing tests in a draft lab order allows you to customize lab requests efficiently. Follow these steps to add or remove tests as needed.

Step 1: Access the Draft Order

• Open the draft lab order from the Draft Lab Orders section in the patient chart.
• There are two methods to add tests:
  • Tests: Manually add individual tests by clicking the Tests button. A search field and filter button will appear.
  • Panels: Add a preset series of tests in one click using configured Lab Panels. Learn more about creating lab panels in this article.

Step 2: Adding Tests

• The best way to find a test is by entering the test code in the search field.

• Each test has two buttons:
  • Favorite: Marks the test for quick access. Favorited tests remain visible even if the search field is blank.
  • Add to Draft: Adds the test to the order.

Step 3: Adding Panels

• Click the Panels button to view available Lab Panels.
• Like individual tests, Lab Panels have:
  • Favorite: Marks the panel for quick access.
  • Add to Draft: Adds all tests in the panel to the order.

• Important Notes:
  • Duplicate tests are not allowed within a draft order.
  • You cannot manually add a test that is already included in a Lab Panel.
  • Multiple Lab Panels can be added, but duplicate tests will be prevented.

Step 4: Removing Tests

• Click the Delete button next to the test to remove it from the draft order.
• This applies to manually added tests and those included via a Lab Panel.

Adding and removing tests ensures that the draft lab order reflects exactly what is needed for the patient. If you need further assistance, reach out to our support team.
