A user will need professional support to configure Procedures to work with an external lab.

It will generate and send the HL7 for the order according to the protocol that you specified in Procedures -> Providers. This will require that your lab is willing to use the interface, and if OpenEMR is new to them then a developer will probably need to be involved to get their compendium into your system.

OK,thank you for your help! I have some understanding of the mechanism. But can you recommend me an open source Lab using HL7 ??
