HERON Republican: searching by lab value fixed and microbiology positive results available

HERON Republican release allows you to limit laboratory searches to a value for tests with a value assigned. If a lab test does not include a value (e.g., testing positive or negative for influenza) the option to limit by value will not appear. This release also introduces outpatient billing service lines and microbiology positive results.

Remember: any publication that results from a project utilizing HERON should cite grant support (CTSA Award # UL1TR000001).
