For results for colonoscopy, flexible sigmoidoscopy, and upper GI endoscopy, a Health Monit. tab allows you to set a due date for the next test. Doing so allows you to track the status of the item in the Health Monitoring grid. The LMR uses pink highlighting in the grid to indicate items that are overdue. Yellow highlighting indicates items that are almost due.
To set a due date for a test, click the Health Monit. tab. (This tab only displays for selected test results.) You can indicate a due date as a specific amount of time from the current date (that is, the number of years, months, or days from today). Alternatively, you can indicate a specific patient age, or set up a recurring due date. You can also enter a reason for the due date.
Make your selections and click Ok (ALT+O). You do not need to type your key to sign this update.
