Lab and Radiology Test Filter Descriptions
For lab and radiology test orders, you can set up test description filters on the Data 3 tab of the Set Orders Summary Filters window. This filter is not applicable for immunization orders.
You can select a Match exact names only option to only show tests that match the exact description you enter. If you do not select this option, you can view tests with a partial match to the description you enter. For example, if you enter Cholesterol as the description without selecting an exact name match, this filter would display different types of cholesterol tests such as HDL Cholesterol; Cholesterol, Total; and LDL Cholesterol (Direct). If you select an exact name match, only tests with the description of Cholesterol would appear. If no tests with this exact description are found, nothing is shown.
This filter shows tests with the matching partial or exact description for an individual patient on the Orders Summary grid. If you view patients across the practice using the Orders Management order control on a custom Practice template, this filter displays only patients who have tests with the partial or exact description.
