Medical tests are entered and automatically tracked through. A health care provider (HCP) can enter an order for a patient's medical test. A back office assistant (BOA) can review or amend an order already entered into a data processing system or can process the order to thereby enter it into the computer. The order is automatically passed to a testing facility where it is scheduled. The test time can be communicated the BOA, HCP, or patient. The BOA can be alerted when the test time approaches such that pretest instructions can be communicated with the patient. The BOA can obtain the test results, store them in a database, and inform the HCP that the test results are ready for review. The HCP can then review the test results, decide what further action is required, and report the results back to the patient or the referring HCP.
