 **LOINC Code:**  Logical Observation Identifiers Names and Codes (LOINC) are used primarily for results coming into the system, to match "apples to apples". Enterprise Health's Medical Codify may be used to search for or reference LOINC codes, as well as other online resources.  
 **Layout:** Some orders have specific Exam Order Layouts assigned to them so they display consistently when results are manually entered, typically in the Tests and procedures section of an encounter.  
 **Doc Type:** A specific document type can be assigned to an order code within this editor, so that when these orders are resulted, a separate document is created.
