Associate an Unmatched Lab Report

In the To-Do List, you may see the words 'No acct number' next to a patient name. These lab results need to be manually associated with the correct patient so they can be reviewed and stored in the correct patient's chart. Use the following steps to associate an unmatched lab report with the correct patient.

1. In the To-Do List, double-click the unmatched lab result reminder.
   
   The lab report will open in the Lab Viewer. Click the Get New Report button. It may be necessary to click the (<) or (>) arrow to view the appropriate report.
