Not sure this is true. The VA lab systems are directly interfaced with
VistA, the order is passed electronically to the lab, and results are
passed back to VistA electronically. No paper order is involved and I'm
not sure VistA can generate one. There have been posts regarding
interfaces, mostly HL7, with in-house labs, but it sounded like they
needed to be custom written. I still hand write my orders to outside
labs and file results in paper charts!

I am trying to understand the workflow involved with Lab orders in a
Physicians office environment and am wondering how most practices
currently handle this.
My assumption is that a printed laboratory order prints out of Vista.
Patient takes the order to a local laboratory, has blood drawn etc.
Once the lab results are available they are either faxed or mailed back
to the physicians office.
Paper results are scanned/manually entered into Vista
Can the Vista Physicians of the group share their current workflow?
