Catalog Pick List Tab
The Catalog Pick List is a concept for Request Catalogs that allows your clinician, staff, or student to add multiple tests or image requests quickly, on a single Request on the patient record. For example, if your clinician wants to order a complete blood panel for a patient, they can go to a pick list set up for common blood tests, and order the appropriate tests from that panel without having to search for each test one at a time. Catalog Pick Lists are also especially useful for radiology, where multiple views may be needed, but there are hundreds of options available in the catalog. A catalog pick list can be used to narrow down to the most common selections.

Set a Pick List as Inactive
If the contents of a pick list should be temporarily disabled, for example if a service is not going to be offered during the summer months, you can turn off the Active flag on the Pick List.
This will preserve the contents of the pick list, and you can change it back to Active when the service will be offered again.
Delete a Pick List, Category, or Item
To permanently remove a pick list, category, or item from the system, click on the Delete button on the Pick List line item.
You will get a pop up warning asking you to confirm that you really want to delete the item.

Once you click on the OK button, the pick list, category, or item will immediately disappear.
Deleted items, categories, and pick lists cannot be restored from the system. If you want to add these objects back in, you will need to perform this manually or contact your IT department for assistance.
Print Pick List
You can print the Pick List to provide it to your clinical staff on paper. This can be especially helpful for training new clinical rotation students, residents, or interns, or during the Junior Surgery classes.
Click on the Print Pick List button. A PDF window will appear that can be sent to a local or network printer.
