Lab Templates

This lesson will cover how to search and create lab Templates.

Lab Templates are used for documenting groups of lab tests.  For example a CBC is composed of many lab tests: WBC, RBC, Hbg, Hct,  etc.   A lab Template for a CBC would contain all of the individual tests that make up that CBC.
