On the main page, top left, click on FILE. On drop down, click IMPORT/EXPORT. Next, select LABS/RADIOLOGY. That will connect you to Quest and if there are any available labs they will import immediately. If the name of your patient does not match exactly, it will ask for you to confirm. I have only had one import that was not my patient and I just refused it. This assumes you have already put the patients into AC.
Now it goes to your inbox. When I review the Quest labs I usually want a message to go to my nurse to contact the patient. I select the sign off button which brings up a window with choice of placing message or giving orders or refills. I usually send order to nurse with my specific instructions. It is then recorded in the chart when they contact pt and what was discussed. After sending the order, I then do the final sign off which shows now what I sent to the nurse w/ instructions and that I viewed the lab.
