Overview 

In the STD module, the integration with OrderConnect lets you access the client's reference lab information saved and maintained in OrderConnect. In OrderConnect you can search the reference lab orders and results by date, order type, results status, whether the provider has reviewed the results, and whether results have been reviewed with the patient.

Note: For documentation on the OrderConnect labs functionality, refer to the Lab Orders, Radiology/Imaging Orders, and Results section of the OrderConnect Full Suite Functionality guide.

View reference lab orders and results 

  1. On the STD module main menu, click Reference Labs. 
  2. OrderConnect opens to the Current Order Profile screen, which lists all active lab orders and lab results (not discontinued or voided), for all review statuses (reviewed or not reviewed by the clinician or with the patient), and for all result types (normal or abnormal).

Features of the Current Order Profile

 The patient's name, medical record number (MR#), sex, age, and birth date appear at the top of each screen in OrderConnect.

 Filter the search results by using these options. 

  • Date Range
  • Order Type (lab orders and radiology orders and their results)
  • Status (active or discontinued)
  • Review Status (reviewed or not reviewed by a clinician and/or with the client)
  • Normal Status (order results were normal or abnormal)

 Orders are listed by the Order name or Order Date. To change the sort order, click the Order Date or Orders column heading.

 Table rows are color-coded to distinguish among orders, test results, and discontinued or voided items.

  • Yellow: Laboratory tests that have been ordered
  • Green:  Radiology or imaging tests that have been ordered
  • Orange:  Laboratory or radiology/imaging results
