Lab orders can be signed for a future date.

This helps users in creating a treatment plan for a patient with future dates.

If the lab order submission method is ‘Manual’, a lab order signed with a future date is only submitted on the selected date after it has been processed manually. Alternatively, if the lab order submission method is ‘Automatic’ in the settings, then the order is queued until the date and time of the submission.

The Procedure Orders section adjacent to Lab Orders enables configurations for placing procedural orders. A checkbox labeled “Make Diagnosis Mandatory” requires users to include diagnoses when placing procedure orders.

By default, this checkbox is unchecked.
