When accessed from the Patient Chart menu, the Results Manager is designed to help you manage the process of following up on lab tests that you have requested for a specific patient.
At a glance, you can see a list of visits with results that the selected patient has had with providers at all locations, with critical and otherwise abnormal results clearly indicated. Initially, the most critical results display first, but you can change the sort order. For details, click here.
By default, the patient's list of open visits is displayed. However, you can add closed visits to the list by clicking Open & Closed. When you do so, the visits from the last two years display by default. You can change the date range to display data or filter data in a variety of ways. For details, click here.
For results that are in your queue (displayed by accessing the Results Manager module from the Desktop menu), the system sends you e-mail notifying you of critical results that you do not acknowledge within 24 hours.
With a few keystrokes, you can generate complete patient letters, including appropriate text, tailored to each specific result. You can also add user flags or comments as informal notes to yourself or to your staff who may assist you in managing the follow-up for patient results.
