A Collection List is a list of uncollected samples that must be collected from patients to perform ordered tests.
These samples may have been entered as uncollected in the Patient Entry/Maintenance submodule or as an order transmitted from an HIS /CIS.
The list can display on a screen or be produced on a printer.
