Tracking and Updating Expected Test Results Due Dates

You can view and track the due dates when test results should be available for multiple patients on the Orders Management order control in a custom practice template or for an individual patient on the Orders Summary tab.

You can perform the following tracking and updating actions:

• Set up the days to expect results for certain types of tests, if necessary. For example, in File Maintenance, your practice may need to change the Days to Expect Results default (1 day) to 3 days for Urine Culture tests results.
• Reschedule the date to expect the test results while working with orders.
• Reschedule the expected test result due dates for a future order.
• View and reschedule the expected test result due date for a recurring order.

• View the expected test result dates for a patient on the Orders Summary tab.
• Verify and track expected test result due dates for multiple patient orders, by selecting the Overdue Orders filter in the Orders Management order control in a custom practice template.
