General Overview of Diagnostics Dashboard

The Diagnostics Dashboard gives you a single place to track pending, in-progress, and completed integrated diagnostic results.

It supports integrations from IDEXX, Heska, Antech, and Asteris, making it easy to review results, take action, and follow up without leaving Instinct.
