FUTURE ORDER "RESULTING" FOR OUTSIDE FACILITIES

When a patient is getting labs somewhere other than our facility, the results come back as a scanned image and do not satisfy the future order. Now this order needs to expire or be cancelled, and neither is an appropriate response. The future order allows us to track what is not back, so we like it better than just using paper for these situations, but we need a better way to satisfy these orders when the scanned image comes back to complete the circle.
