Ordering Capabilities

The primary function of the Health Gorilla UI is manual order placement. Through the UI, people with appropriate permissions can initiate diagnostic orders, including laboratory, imaging, and other supported diagnostic services, to connected partners using configured compendia and routing rules.

Order placement workflows support selecting the ordering facility, ordering provider, patient context, and requested tests. Orders submitted through the UI follow the same validation, routing, and fulfillment rules as orders submitted through APIs.

Prerequisites

UI access requires an enabled Lab Network tenant, configured compendium, and appropriate user permissions. UI-based ordering uses the same underlying Lab Network configuration as API-based ordering workflows.

UI access requires Lab Network ordering to be enabled for your tenant and an active compendium configuration. The UI uses the same underlying Lab Network configuration as API-based ordering, including routing rules, laboratory connectivity, and test catalog alignment.

While orders can be placed and reviewed through the UI, structured results ingestion and downstream processing still require API-based integration.

Order Status and Operational Review

After submission, the UI supports operational tracking of orders as they move through validation, routing, and fulfillment. People with appropriate permissions can review order status indicators that confirm whether an order has been accepted, routed, completed, or encountered delivery issues.

This visibility is intended to support confirmation and follow-up in operational workflows rather than automated monitoring, analytics, or downstream clinical ingestion.

Results Artifacts and Visibility Limits

The UI provides limited, order-centric visibility into received result artifacts associated with individual orders. This includes access to result documents or summaries tied directly to a specific order.

The UI does not provide:

• Comprehensive patient-level result history
• Longitudinal aggregation of results across orders
• Structured result data for analytics or clinical decision support

Structured results intended for downstream systems are retrieved exclusively through API-based integration.

When to Use the UI

UI access fits scenarios where your organization needs to place orders manually, confirm that orders have been fulfilled, or verify that results have been received without maintaining a full API-based workflow.

The UI is appropriate when operational confirmation is sufficient and structured results ingestion is not required. It does not replace API-based integration when automated workflows, analytics, or clinical system ingestion are needed.

Relationship to Other Access Models

The Health Gorilla UI complements API and iFrame access models by supporting manual order placement and operational tracking. Results ingestion and downstream processing remain API-driven.
