The challenge
Medication Monitoring Creates Information Across Multiple Systems
Without a shared digital workflow, monitoring activity ends up scattered across inboxes, paper, portals and phone calls — and nobody has one place to look.

TMS Managed Workflow
- Ordering
- Tracking
- Laboratory Status
- Results
- Reporting
- Provider Access
Online Test Management brings these activities into one connected workflow. TMS technology does not claim to integrate with every outside system — availability varies by implementation.
Ordering
Place Orders Through a Digital Workflow
Staff and providers place medication-monitoring orders online instead of relying on paper requisitions or faxed forms, using a consistent order form across the practice.

Tracking
Follow Orders From Creation to Result
Every order moves through a visible sequence of stages, so staff can answer 'where is this order' without a phone call.
