Its not automatic but, when I order a test (or consult ) it is entered into the plan section and printed off ( make a separate order for labs, another for radiology, another for referrals or consults such as colonoscopy. The orders are printed off and kept on a clip-board. Each week the staff goes thru the clipboard and checks the patients chart to see if the results have been received, discarding the printed order when complete. I know this is not paperless or automatic but it does satisfy the risk management folks for my malpractice carrier. Seems like that would not be too hard to program in to AC except that the computer would have to recognize which report is being recieved.
