Adding and Removing Result Flags

Add and remove flags to help you identify those patient visits that are associated with lab tests requiring your follow-up and those that are not. The Result Manager view lists all visits that you have flagged. Removing flags removes the associated visits from your view.

Note: The LMR does not automatically add or remove any flags for patient visits.

1.   If you haven't already, go to the Result Manager module.

2.   Click the Flags/Comments column associated with the visit. The LMR displays a set of check boxes allowing you to indicate specific lab tests.

3.   Click the check boxes to add or clear checks, as appropriate. Add comments, if desired. Comments can serve as a message to your support staff (who may use your queue to work from) or as a reminder to yourself. These comments are not meant to be an official part of the patient medical record.

4.   Click Ok.

Note: Visits older than 2 weeks are removed from the Result Manager module when all flags for that visit have been cleared.
