Dentrix Enterprise stores the results for a patient's diagnostic lab tests (for example, blood tests, biopsies, and cultures) that have been received through the HL7 interface. You can attach those results to any of the patient's laboratory orders.
Notes:
You cannot use this feature for items such as crowns and prosthetics.
Accessing a patient's lab orders to attach test results to an order requires the "Manage Lab Tests" security right.
