Manage a Scheduled Order via Streamlined Order Entry
1 Access streamlined order entry and retrieve a patient as described in Initiate a Lab Order.
Note: If the legacy Order Entry page appears, and no banner with a link to streamlined order entry appears at the top, see Manage a Scheduled Order via Legacy Order Entry. |

The section displays a list of the patient’s held, scheduled, and standing orders:
Notes: • If the patient has no pending orders, the Patient’s Pending Orders section does not appear. • After you click Get Pending Orders, the number of pending orders for the patient appears in parentheses in the Patient’s Pending Orders title bar. You can subsequently hide these orders by clicking Hide Pending Orders, and see them again by clicking View Pending Orders. • Generic orders and scheduled orders for LTC clients are not included. To manage those orders, see Manage Scheduled Orders via the Scheduled Orders List or Managing LTC Orders. • To view a list of the tests and diagnoses in the order, position the pointer over . If any of the order codes are invalid, a message appears instead of the test name. • If the specimen should be collected in the future, the draw date appears in bold red text. The scheduled time can also appear in the Draw Date column. • For orders created via eLabs, the Created By column includes the user name of the person who created the order. For third-party-orders, this column displays EMR. • If a scheduled order has any report comments or internal comments, you can position the pointer over to view them. • If any information is too long to display in its entirety, an ellipsis (...) appears. You can position the pointer over the displayed information to see the complete information. |
