Requisitions	You can print requisitions when ordering procedures. Many options allow you to include procedure CPT codes, fees, and billing information. The requisitions can be given to the patient to bring to the lab, or another physician, or kept for internal use or billing purposes.
Standing Orders
Enter and Maintain Standing Orders	Standing orders allow you to enter one order and specify how often, and for how long, the patient is to return for testing. The order can then be automatically entered, saving you time and frustration. No more looking for orders.
Automatic Reminders of Orders Due	The system can automatically remind you when orders are due. You can then place all the orders, or print the list to wait for the patients to arrive.
Over Due Lists	eLab can produce lists of standing orders that are over due or are on an “as needed” schedule. This can assist the lab and the physician in monitoring your patients needs.
Test Result Editing
Off-line Data/Result/Comment Entry	Enter all your lab results, even those done manually, or from analyzers you do not have interfaced. You can also enter a comment for each and every result in the order. You can free text the comment, pick a comment from the comment data file that you design, or enter a quick pre-defined comment.
Off-line Double Data Entry	Double entry of off-line results helps assure against typing errors. You must enter the same result twice in a row or the new result will not be entered.
Action Log \ Audit Trail	Every time a result is manually changed in the order, an entry is made into the action log to audit the change and make a record of who made it, when it was made, and what the change was.
Reflex Test Ordering	Does your lab automatically order a direct bilirubin if the total is too high, or an A1C if the glucose is too high? eLab will do that for you. It will also send the new order to the analyzer interface, if it is interfaced.

Single/Batch Report Printing	Patient reports may be batch printed later in the day when things are less busy or during the overnight period.
Urine Culture Reporting	Special editing screens allows you to chart the urine culture reports. eLab will store up to 3 organisms for each culture, along with a note, the sensitivity panel drugs and results. It will also store the gram stain and chemical test results.
