Purpose
The Sample Tracking Work Queues section of lab is used to process generic samples that have been checked into the lab and need to be tested. The following workflow functions are performed in this module:
- Specimens are "received" into the lab (after field technicians check specimens into the lab)
- Tests are assigned to specimens
- Test reports (PDF) are attached to lab test records
- Test results are reviewed and approved from a lab perspective
Filter Pane
The filter pane can be used to filter the underlying queue data by a variety of variables.
It is recommended that users of the Lab queues make it a habit of filtering their lab queues to the lab that they work in to help avoid accidental processing of specimens / tests belonging to another lab.
