ECW lab req's - Reducing paper consumption

Idea Status: 

Print all ECW lab req's with ALL  tests on 1 page (when possible) and double sided printing (when needed)....often only 1 test appears on each page (8-10 pages could be reduced to 1 page).

 

This will reduce our paper consumption and save $ (and trees) and with less paper used, less paper will be trucked in and save $ on shipping and fuel costs.

 

Thank you!
