Every lab test is recorded in the patient’s EMR after the request, so that doctors, nurses, receptionists, and clinic administrators can review the details, monitor the status, and access the results as the lab specialists update them.

💡Notes

All test orders are automatically sent to the Laboratory module, where lab staff perform the tests and update the details so the other clinic staff have access to the same synchronized data.
