      clinical results are ready, and displays all relevant healthcare

    - Lab Test Tracking Workflow - Allows the ordering and tracking of
      exam-specific lab tests. All relevant steps and information related to
      the lab test appear in the appropriate user worklist throughout RIS
      workflow, including pop-up alerts for missing labs or abnormal results.
      The final results are stored in the patient record.
    - New fields and functionality to capture and report data,
      clinical quality measures and generate patient lists to comply with
