Disable or Warn on "Request Sent" For Outbound Lab Orders with Interface
For practices that have an outbound laboratory interface (e.g., LabCorp, Quest, etc.), it is required that the staff switch the status of the order to "Specimen Collected" in order to send the order electronically. However, even after numerous trainings occasionally, staff still switch the status to "Request Sent" thinking that the order will be sent electronically and, obviously, it will not. It would be great if the system would prevent this option from being selected for practices with these interfaces. If it cannot be prevented, at least include a pop-up warning message stating something similar to "Choosing this status will prevent this order from being electronically sent to your laboratory".
