- When an Antech lab item is added to a patient, the integration checks for existing lab orders.
- If there is an existing order in a Created status, the item is added to that order.
- If there are no lab orders in a Created status, or all existing lab orders are older than 2 days, a new lab request is created for the lab item.
- Lab orders already in a Submitted status are not part of this check (new lab orders will always be issued if the only existing lab orders for a patient are already submitted).
