Queuing Orders
When users create a lab order, and the order is signed, the system creates an HL7 for sending to the LIS. If the user realizes that additional tests are needed, a new HL7 is created. This can confuse the lab viewing the orders on the LIS system and in the EHR because there are more order chart items than necessary. The system now offers a way to hold orders for a few minutes before they are sent, reducing the number of mistakes and avoiding multiple orders.
