Adding a Patient to Your Watchlist

Adding a patient to your watchlist ensures that any test performed for that patient is displayed in your result list queue. This can be useful if you are a supervising attending and wish to monitor patients seen by your residents. You can also add a patient to the watchlist of another colleague who uses the Result Manager.

1.   If you haven't already, click the Add to WatchList option from the User Flags/Comments screen.

2.   Select a time frame. The LMR notifies you (or whomever you designate) of any results received for this patient for this period of time.

Note: Your watchlist only applies to newly posted results. Do not specify a past date for either the From or To fields.

3.   If you are adding the patient to the watchlist of a colleague, click the at the Put data in queue for field and select the desired name.

4.   If you want to be notified of both inpatient and outpatient results, click the associated option.

5.   Click Ok (ALT+O). Or click Ok-New to return to add a second patient to your watchlist.

Note: To delete patients from your watchlist or edit your selections, use the Watch List option from the initial Result Manager screen.
