Add and remove flags to identify those patient visits that are associated with lab tests you have ordered. These flags are used in conjunction with Results Manager functionality. Flags you set are displayed in Results Manager.
Notes:
Only providers with scheduled patient visits should set user flags using the User Flags module. Other staff can set user flags for providers using Results Manager.
The LMR does not automatically add or remove any flags for patient visits.
1. If you haven't already, go to the RM User Flags module from the Patient Chart menu. The LMR displays a set of check boxes allowing you to indicate specific lab tests.
2. If necessary, update the Lab Orders date field. The LMR must match this date to the actual date of a patient visit.
3. Click the check boxes to add or clear checks, as appropriate. Add comments, if desired. Comments can serve as a message to your support staff (who may use your queue to work from) or as a reminder to yourself.
4. If you want to receive a system-generated warning for if this patient doesn't complete certain tests by a specified date, click the Add Tickler(s) check box to display a new screen. See Adding Test Ticklers for details.
5. Click Ok.
