Abstract
The present invention provides a method and system for macro-enhanced clinical workflow. The method and system enables printing of a prescription form, a laboratory test form, and a medical information handout based on at least user input to an electronic medical record (“EMR”). The method and system also enables the ordering one or more of a drug prescription, a laboratory test, and a medical procedure based on at least user input to the EMR. The method and system additionally provides for notifying a user of one or more of a drug interaction, a recommended medical procedure, and a result of at least one of a previous medical procedure, previous laboratory test, and a failure of the patient to follow-up to a physician request based on at least user input to the EMR.
