Practice Test Favorites

Practices can select a predefined Test Favorites group to use for their location. When they select one, they "subscribe" to this favorites group. If changes are made to the original Test Favorites group they have chosen, they automatically get any updates made to it.

Test favorites can be created by assigning a favorites list to a practice using File Maintenance. When importing the default test favorites the favorites are created in the lab favorites table. Test favorites can also be assigned by the Orders Management Console to a practice to be used as the default test favorites.

When importing a favorites list, if a specific practice already has a practice favorite set up for that particular lab or radiology system to which the favorites are being imported (NextGen, Labcorp, etc.) the new favorite being imported is not added to that practice's available list. If that practice does not have a favorites list assigned for that lab or radiology system, the default system being imported is added.
