What’s New
- Added a new specimen label template named Bloodwork.
- The template is available to all CureMD 11g practices alongside existing options such as Standard, Barcode, ADPH, and APHL.
- Bloodwork can be selected from the Template dropdown when printing a specimen label from Patient > Clinical > Orders & Results > Lab.
-
Line 1 – Patient Last Name, First Name
-
Line 2 – Date of Birth
-
-
- Line 3 – Specimen Collection Date and Time
- The printed date and time reflect when the specimen was collected, not when the label was printed.
- Users can preview the completed label before printing.
- Practice administrators can configure Bloodwork as the default specimen label template for an individual laboratory.
- When configured as the default, Bloodwork is automatically selected when opening the Label dialog for that laboratory.
- Existing specimen label templates and laboratory defaults remain unchanged unless the practice selects Bloodwork.
- Line 3 – Specimen Collection Date and Time
