Practice-Level Control to Display Specimen Type in Lab Flowsheet

What’s New

• A new checkbox labeled Display specimen in flowsheet is available at the practice level.

• The setting is located under My Practice Settings > EHR > Lab Orders.

• The checkbox is unchecked by default.

• When enabled, specimen type is shown for each lab result in the flowsheet.

• When disabled, specimen type is hidden from the flowsheet.

• The setting applies uniformly across supported lab result views.

How It Works 

• Navigate to My Practice Settings > EHR > Lab Orders.

• Leave the checkbox unchecked to hide specimen type in the lab flowsheet.

• Check the box to display specimen type for lab results.

• Save the practice settings.

• The system applies the selected behavior across all applicable lab result workflows.

Benefits

• Gives practices control over whether specimen details appear in lab result flowsheets.

• Supports clearer interpretation of lab results when specimen context is required.

• Keeps flowsheets clean and uncluttered when specimen information is not needed.

• Ensures consistent display behavior across provider note and lab result views.
