To prevent unnecessary paper use and allow printers to be used for essential workflows, auto-printing has been disabled for external imaging orders and external lab orders in outpatient areas.

When a clinician places an external lab or imaging order for services outside VUMC, the order will no longer print automatically.

End users will have the ability to print external lab and imaging orders manually.

Please see this tipsheet for instructions on how to print, fax, and send lab orders via MHAV.
