Yes, exactly. Now, the one minus at the moment is that if you get the lab from Quest and then send it to the UpDox patient portal via the UpDox print interface, your comments are not saved in AC, unless you reimport the lab (meaning it would be in AC twice). If you get the lab as a fax, then comments are saved along with the lab. I have discussed this with Tobin Juday at UpDox, and he said he thought they could put in a "Save to emr" button so the comments would be saved into a file in imported items. That would be the best of both worlds.
