Test Results Entry Tab Order

Quick entry of test results with "keyboard shortcut" in ZIMS Medical

See Manage test panel creation and tab order for creating and using Test Panels.

If you are adding a long test panel and are quickly trying to type in results when the UOMs have already been prefilled (based on the panel chosen), the tab key normally will have you progress through the many fields in a left to right, top to bottom order. This would take some time just to get down to the next line in Test Results.

For this data entry screen, we have implemented on this grid a <ctrl> + arrow keys to move around.
Example: For the results below, you will type:

10 for pO2 then:
<ctrl><down> then:
1 for sO2 then:
<ctrl><down>, etc.
