An above-patient view of all lab orders will assist in quickly accessing only lab orders without navigating to the patient file. It will assist in the review and rapid data entry.
This view should have role-based access once implemented in O3 to ensure that only authorized healthcare professionals can view patient lab test results.
A new app called Lab Orders will be introduced in the right nav.
The lab app will have
a) Tiles that show orders made, orders in progress and completed orders
b) Table that shows Tests Ordered, Orders in progress and completed orders
