Send Lab Results from the Orders Module

Before you begin

If you are sending corrected results, ensure that the result status is set as: Corrected. For more information on result statuses, visit NextGen Healthcare Success Community to download the latest Orders Module User Guide for NextGen® Enterprise EHR.
Physicians can sign off on and send the lab or radiology test results directly from the Orders or PAQ modules to the NextGen® PxP Portal using NextGen® Enterprise EHR.

Lab results can be signed-off on and sent without waiting for Personal Health Records (PHR) to be generated and sent. All confidential lab results are excluded when lab results are sent to NextGen® PxP Portal.
