I have the PAML interface - each lab (cbc,cmp,tsh,free T4, hgba1c, urine microalbumin) come in as separate e-mail so in above example I have to look at 6 different e-mails and sign them off with only one having a letter or note to the pt. It is really not handy to have to remember each of them, before I get to the letter and then can only look at one lab while doing the letter. Is okay if your note is that the "labs are okay" or "your lipids are out of range - make an appt", but not great when you actually write a letter with numbers on them.

I do it because I am the big proponent of electronic labs, EMR's etc. in our little town, but I am hoping for an improvement.

P.S. I am using 4.0.45 and this still happens.
