Lab and Miscellaneous Tests

You can enter lab test results and other data such as physical measurement tests on the Lab Test/Misc screen.

You can search for existing records by Patient ID. To enter new data, it is preferable to use the Data/Print option from Orders rather than adding a new record from here. This topic is about the manual data entry or direct from the Data/Print option. If you use HL7 to import lab results, see Lab Results - HL7 for details.
