The Lab Module is designed for offices needing historical tracking of Lab results and orders. Sure you could just scan the lab results into MOMS AT without the Lab Module. But even if you scanned them, you wouldn't be able to chart or graph the results. Old lab results would sit in the patient's chart and take up hard drive space. But what if even old results could be useful?

By taking advantage of the historical data, graphs and reports can be generated to show the trend. This can be useful for encouraging a patient to keep up the good work he or she is doing, or to identify the effectiveness of a particular medication. Is the patient not following your instructions to his or her detriment, a graph showing the problem might well convince the patient to change their habits.
