Neil,

My flow is this( unless I send a copy to the patient portal via UpDox, which takes extra steps)

Click on lab in message window
Click "pull labs"
Review the lab
Hit sign off in two windows; send message to staff if needed
Click Ok to delete lab from message window
Repeat

For 10 labs, including the extra steps of sending a copy to the patient portal with comments, this takes less than 15 minutes in the morning. I am not sure that any programming rework would cut this down significantly. I am not clear what part is causing you problems?
