Set Up the Days to Expect Test Results for an Order

Setting up this field before placing an order is optional. If you do not set up this field, the system defaults to 1 day when determining the date for the expected test result. In File Maintenance, select System > Master Files > Order Tests. Double-click the order in the list that appears. The Modify Order Test Information window opens. On the Test Details tab, enter the number of days in the Days to expect results field. For example, if your practice expects that results for a certain test will be returned by the lab 3 days from the due date, enter 3 in the Days to expect results field. The system calculates the date starting with the due date. If the date is March 1, 2019, in the NextGen® Enterprise EHR Orders module, the system displays the expected result date as March 4, 2019. To save your changes, select OK. Parent topic: Tracking and Updating Expected Test Results Due Dates
