Lab Network UI

The Lab Network UI provides an interface for placing diagnostic orders and tracking order status.

The UI is designed for manual or semi-manual workflows where users need to place and manage orders without building API-based integrations.

The UI is not intended to function as a full clinical results viewer or a substitute for API-based results ingestion.

Capabilities

The primary function of the UI is manual order placement.

Through the UI, users can:

Initiate diagnostic orders, including laboratory and other supported services
Select the ordering facility and ordering provider
Confirm patient context
Choose requested tests based on configured compendia

Orders submitted through the UI follow the same validation, compendium alignment, routing, and fulfillment rules as API-based orders.

Prerequisites

UI access requires:

An enabled Lab Network tenant
Configured laboratory connections and compendium alignment
Appropriate user permissions

UI ordering uses the same underlying configuration as API-based ordering, including routing rules, laboratory connectivity, and test catalog alignment.

Structured results ingestion and downstream processing require API-based access.

Implementation

UI implementation involves:

Ensuring Lab Network is enabled and configured for your tenant
Providing users with appropriate access and permissions
Establishing operational workflows for order entry and review

Orders are placed directly through the UI and follow the same validation, routing, and fulfillment behavior as API-based orders.

The UI provides order-level visibility into results but does not support structured result retrieval.

Status and Operational Review

After submission, the UI supports operational tracking of orders as they move through validation, routing, and fulfillment.

Users can review order status indicators that confirm whether an order has been accepted, routed to a laboratory, completed, or encountered validation or delivery issues.

This visibility supports confirmation and follow-up in operational workflows rather than automated monitoring or analytics.

Limits on Result Artifacts

The UI provides limited, order-centric visibility into result artifacts associated with individual orders.

The UI provides:

Access to documents or attachments returned by laboratories
Visibility into order-level result status

The UI does not provide:

Comprehensive patient-level result history
Longitudinal aggregation of results across orders
Structured result data for analytics or clinical decision support

Structured results must be retrieved through APIs.
