Navigate Labs and Studies

Updated: 03/28/2024|Views: 11512

Labs/Studies displays all patients orders and results for laboratory, diagnostic studies, and imaging. Lab results can be interfaced electronically from the performing laboratory facility through a process known as eLab. Results that are not electronically interfaced can be incorporated into Labs/Studies by entering discrete lab results, by scanning the paper result and uploading the image, or by entering results in the comments field. Discrete lab entry forms only exist for labs on Tebra's commonly performed lab list.
