How to View Outstanding Requests

The Outstanding Requests screen shows all outstanding test requests that have not yet been completed. Use it to track pending pathology, radiology, and other test orders for a single patient or across all patients.

Open Outstanding Requests from the Requests window

Open the patient's record and navigate to the Clinical Summary tab.
Click Request on the right-hand side of the screen.
In the Requests window, click Outstanding in the top-right corner.

View requests for the current patient

When opened from a patient record, the screen defaults to showing outstanding requests for that patient. The Patient toggle is selected in the filter bar.

View requests across all patients

To see outstanding requests for all patients rather than a single patient:

Click the Doctor toggle in the filter bar (top-left of the screen).
Select a doctor from the Doctor drop-down, or leave it set to All Doctors to see requests from all practitioners.

Switch between Doctor and Patient view at any time using the toggle in the filter bar.

Use the filter bar to narrow the results:
