Packing List Tab

To print packing lists for orders you have entered, click the Packing List tab. You can select the orders that you wish to include for the packing lists, and print the packing list(s) preparatory to shipping specimens.  

When a packing list is printed, the orders on that packing list are also transmitted electronically to ARUP at the same time. Items on the packing list are sorted by order date and time, oldest to newest.

 

Note: Hover over a Patient ID to view the ARUP Accession Number.

Select Tests

The list of tests is sorted by order date and time, oldest to newest by a default. You can sort the list in another order by clicking a column heading.

Select tests in any of the following ways. Be sure to review ALL pages in the list before printing. Note that you are not required to separate tests by temperature or transport type as the system will do that for you when it prints the packing lists.

If your packing list contains an inactive test, the patient encounter with the inactive test will be greyed out with the word "Inactive" by the test number. The Patient Name, for both active and inactive tests, is a link that will take you to the Order Entry tab where you can edit the order.

Remove the inactive test by clicking . Edit the order as desired. If you try to save without removing the inactive test, the following message will appear.

Be sure to review ALL available pages before printing.
