If Your Organization Is on BMC’s Epic or OCHIN
If you’re a BMC Health System provider submitting an order for a BMCHS patient, or you work for an organization that uses OCHIN or BMC’s Epic (such as certain Boston HealthNet CHCs), you can order lab tests directly through Epic. Just search for the lab or imaging test you’d like your patient to have, and use the button to submit.
