Lab Management: Order Diagnostic Tests Without Leaving the Patient Chart
Laboratory testing is often necessary to support diagnosis, medication monitoring, or overall medical evaluation. Alehra allows providers to create lab orders directly from the patient chart and generate requisition forms that patients can take to external laboratories such as Quest Diagnostics or LabCorp. Providers can manage laboratory requests while keeping the clinical record organized and connected.
Order test. Generate requisitions. Track diagnostic workflow.
Feature Capabilities
Create Lab Orders from the Patient Chart
Providers can order laboratory tests during a clinical visit by selecting the laboratory, test name, priority level, and associated diagnosis codes. Each order is connected to the patient’s chart to maintain a complete clinical history.
Automated Requisition Generation
Alehra automatically generates a structured laboratory requisition form containing the necessary patient, provider, and test information required by external laboratories. Patients can print or bring this requisition when visiting the laboratory.
Diagnostic Code Support
Providers can attach ICD-10 diagnosis codes to lab orders, helping laboratories understand the clinical context for the requested test.
Order Tracking
Every lab order receives a unique order number and can be tracked within the patient chart. Providers can view order status, order date, and associated laboratory information.
Audit History
