3. This is an image of the item, its a scanned pdf that you can acknowledge and comment
4. Edit the information about the item here
5. 'Save' (an option available after you match the demographic)
   
6. 'Acknowledge' with space for comment or 'Forward', 'Print', send a Message ('Msg') relating to this demographic and result or add a 'Tickler' for this patient

Labwork/Pathology

Lab work uses the same inbox as scanned documents.  

• The reports with an orange background are for results that have not been matched to a patient. 
  
• Results bracketed with *'s indicate unopened results.
• Results flaged as abnormal are listed in red
• The panel on the left lets you filter the view by type and patient
  

 Clicking on a lab report will give you a screen with the result.  As with documents you have the opportunity to

• 'Acknowledge' the result
• and provide a Comment
• You can add an annotation to each individual result
• 'Forward' the result to another user
• 'Print' the Result
• Send a Message ('Msg') relating to this demographic and result
• Add a 'Tickler' for this patient
• You can also open the 'E-Chart' and link to a lab 'Req'uisition number
• And, if you don't like the label the lab gave to this series of labwork you can supply a more useful one here

For the example of Dr McLuhan's labwork below you could supply "electrolytes" as the label

Change View

The 'Preview' button allows you to toggle from the summary list to one that allows you to look at every result detail in one go

• Click on the appropriate filter in the left pane to view the results of interest
• As you acknowledge the results they are taken off the list
• Just remember to link unmatched results to demographic first!
