How do I document PPD placement and reading?

The easiest way to document a PPD placement and reading is to do the following:

  1. Order the PPD.
  2. In the Notes field, indicate where the PPD was placed and the lot#/expiration date.

When the patient returns for the reading:

  1. Go to the diagnostic tests.
  2. Select the PPD.
  3. Click on the green plus sign in lower-left corner to create a new result line.
  4. Enter the result. You can either select an alpha result, or you can type in a number.
