What is required to set the default status for lab orders in the procedure?

Setting the default status for lab orders in the procedure is accomplished by selecting the auto checks button. This feature allows for the automation of status settings within the system, ensuring that lab orders are handled consistently and efficiently without the need for manual intervention each time an order is placed. By enabling this option, users can streamline the process, reduce the likelihood of errors, and enhance the overall workflow related to lab orders.

Choosing options like manual user input or leaving it empty would not create a default status, as those methods do not establish an automatic setting. Additionally, a system-wide approval is typically not necessary for modifying such specific settings, which is generally handled at the user or departmental level. Therefore, selecting the auto checks button is crucial for ensuring that default statuses for lab orders are correctly set and applied effortlessly within the system.
