Guest guest Posted January 11, 2011 Report Share Posted January 11, 2011 Ha, I thought the order had to go to the lab electronicallygood to know Definitely, according to my sources. My understanding it that the point of CPOE is to have computerized order tracking so that we (physician offices) can keep track of whether or not our patients are being compliant with necessary labs and also so that we can make sure that the lab results are received and patients don’t fall through the cracks. We are considering the Quest interface with our EMR, which sends results electronically into our EMR and tracks it automatically. But for now, we are going to track them semi-automatically (our nurse will attach labs as they are faxed in to the outstanding orders in Order Tracking).
