Radiology Order Quick Reference

Define a test compendium

You can load tests into NextGen® Enterprise EHR using the Orders Management Console. The available compendiums are:

Order a radiology test

You can place lab test orders within the Orders module using the Create New Radiology Order for Patient Name window. You can also place lab tests through an NextGen® Adaptive Content Engine template or from a bulk order generated through NextGen Care® Population Management Hub.

Complete an unfinished radiology order that was started from the Orders Search bar

You can complete unfinished orders from the Orders Summary tab in the Orders module.

View and complete an unfinished radiology order that was part of a bulk order from NextGen Care® Population Management Hub.

View unfinished orders for a patient from the Orders Summary tab in the Orders module.

View unfinished orders for all patients across the practice using the Unfinished filter in the Orders Management order control in a custom practice template.

Open an unfinished order and complete required fields on the Update Radiology Order for Patient Name window.

Receive test results

Test results can be entered in the Orders module though an interface or you can enter test results manually.

Map test master files

Before you can add results to a test order, you must map a value from the NextGen® Enterprise compendium to each test order that your practice uses. You can map tests using File Maintenance Master Files.

Delete existing radiology tests

You can delete cancelled tests without results from NextGen® Enterprise EHR.

Commit test Results

Typically, when a result is received across an interface but the system cannot automatically match it to the patient or order in NextGen® Enterprise EHR, it is placed in the NextGen® Clinical Message Manager. From there, you can review and confirm patient tests and results before committing them to the patient's chart.You can match test results to a patient or an order, or add critical missing details such as the provider details.
