Placing a Single Order
2012
In this demonstration you learn how to place a single order for a BMP.
Lab orders have a unique set of priorities in their order detail. A lab order can be placed with one of the following priorities; AM Draw, Routine, Timed Study and Stat or any of the Draw/Report Time options.
-
•AM Draw indicates the collection will occur during the next AM lab collection.
-
•Routine indicates the collection will occur within 2 hours.
-
•Timed Study indicates the collection will occur at a specific date or time.
-
•Stat dispatches the order out for immediate collection.
You will now place an order for a BMP. It is recommended practice to only have one patient chart open while placing orders. Check now.
