For lab or radiology test orders sent to a performing entity, you can track the current state of test processing or issues that arise by the description shown in the Result Status column on the Orders Summary grid. The following table provides possible processing events or issues that may affect a lab or radiology order and the result status description.
If you select order statuses manually from the Result Status list on the Orders Summary Results panel for a new test order, the Orders Summary grid displays the status you selected. The Orders module does not automatically generate the status.
Order Test Processing Event or Issue | Result Status |

A test order with erroneous information has been sent from the performing entity. Once corrected, the system sends the order again with the corrected result. | Corrected |

Order information is missing. | Unavailable |
An order was sent electronically but no specimen was ever collected from the patient. | Pending |
The performing entity places an order on hold. For example, a patient arrived at the lab for a specimen collection, but was not fasting; therefore, the order has been placed on hold until the patient returns. | Pending |
The performing entity has discontinued an order. For example, the performing entity cancels an order due to no specimen being received. | Order Cancelled |
The performing entity has replaced the original test. | Order Cancelled |
An order has been rejected by the lab. For example, the performing entity does not support the payer. | Order Cancelled |
The performing entity has not yet verified the result, for example, a blood test culture. | Results Stored |
