Complete a Precision Medicine electronic order

To use the electronic order functionality, you must place a signed genomic order in iKnowMed on the >Orders tab > New Orders. Select an order from your practice specific order panel to add to the cart and sign and save the order. The Biomarker Ordering tool which houses the pdf versions of the requisitions is not available to select which requisition you intend to order.

Order Panels are managed by the iKnowMed lead at your practice. If you do not see an order panel with the genomic test, please contact your iKnowMed practice lead.

After ordering a genomic test, click the Precision Medicine button (callout 1) near the top of the Orders page.
