BACKING UP A PROTOCOL ORDER ASSOCIATED WITH GENETIC TESTING
First Claim
1. One or more computer-readable media having computer-useable instructions embodied thereon for performing a method of backing up a protocol order that is associated with a genetic testing procedure and that is documented in an electronic data capture system, the method comprising:
- documenting said protocol order in a sequence relating to said genetic testing procedure, said protocol order corresponding to a step executed in carrying out said genetic testing procedure; and
responsive to input, presenting for selection a backup protocol order for inclusion in said sequence.

Abstract
Computerized methods and systems for creating and documenting protocol orders in a molecular diagnostic laboratory environment are provided. Utilizing the methods and systems described herein, protocol statements may require values to be entered in association therewith prior to permitting access to subsequent protocol orders. Accordingly, more accurate test runs and, consequently, more accurate test results, may be achieved. Additionally, as values associated with protocol statements are electronically captured, in accordance with embodiments hereof, such values may be searched to evaluate trends or identify protocol orders and/or results that may be affected by a later discovered error or the like. Moreover, backing up a protocol order includes providing a backup protocol order for selection, in the event that an alternative test result is desired.
