Accessing your lab orders dashboard
From the left-hand navigation, choose Labs, then click Orders to find your practice’s lab order dashboard.
Using the lab orders dashboard
The dashboard highlights the most important details of your patient’s lab orders. Search for patients, apply filters, and track test statuses — all from your Fullscript account. The most recent status appears next to each test name.
Note:
Orders are prioritized to surface urgent items first — unresolved specimen issues appear first, then unread results, then remaining orders by most recently updated.
Dashboard organization
At the top of the dashboard, you’ll find four tabs to group orders by status:
- All orders: Shows all lab orders regardless of current test status.
- Not purchased: Shows lab orders that haven’t been purchased yet.
- Results available: Shows labs that have received partial or full results.
- Specimen issues: Shows orders with unresolved specimen issues that need follow-up.
Dashboard filters
You can filter the list further using the Practitioner, Status, and Sort by dropdown menus.
- Practitioner: To filter the list of lab orders to select a specific provider or choose All to view all labs.
- Status: To filter lab orders based on specific processing stages (Purchased, Delivered, Processing at lab, etc).
- Sort by: To organize the list according to your preferences.
Tip!
Invite your staff members to your Fullscript account to view and manage lab ordering for your practice
Searching for a patient
Use the search box to enter your patient’s name or email to immediately access any lab orders associated with them on Fullscript.
Note:
Lab orders are shown by the individual test in the dashboard. If you’ve ordered multiple tests in the same order, you’ll see those separated so you can track the status of each one more easily.
Viewing details about a patient’s order
Click anywhere on a test’s row to open the Test details page.
From this page, you can:
- Review the test status history and full timeline
- Access requisition forms and testing instructions
- View partial or complete results
- Resend testing instructions and documents before purchase
Patients automatically receive their testing instructions and requisition form after purchase.
Note:
If you encounter a specimen issue with a lab order, learn more about next steps in Resolving lab specimen issues.
