What I was asking for in the feature request was to have the ability to make a collection of lab orders that I can select easily. It's kind of difficult to explain, but my comparison is last few years in the hospital, which is epic. In that system, when I go to order a lab test, I open my "Favorites" panel. Within that, I have a bunch of organization. It's almost like having folders. So for example, every new patient needs a CBC. But also, every patient with a suspected infection needs to CBC. So I have a folder for new patients that has a bunch of selectable lab tests in it including a CBC. And they have a folder for infectious patient that has a different selectable list of lab labs, which also includes a CBC.

So let's say I'm seeing a patient that's already admitted but now I'm worried about an infection, I go to my infectious labs folder, and everything I want to order is there. CBC, blood cultures, xray, etc... but if that patient just so happens to have had a CBC done an hour ago, I don't have to order everything in the folder.

It makes the system very easy to use and dramatically decreases the risk of forgetting things.

Those folders are also easy to modify. I can add things or subtract them on a whim.

The other cool thing about that system that I didn't even mention in my feature request is the ability to modify orders that have already been placed. That epic build allows you to do that. So for instance, if I order a lab and change my mind, I can just delete it. I would attribute this to inpatient versus outpatient, except that I'm pretty sure LabCorp offers this feature through lablink.
