Working with Patient Results

You can access results from other Partners entities, using the following options from the Results menu:

• Labs

  Displays test results from Chemistry, Hematology, and Immunology, organized by system-defined or custom panels.

• Summary

  Displays all available tests and reports, sorted by date. Checkboxes at the top of the view allow you to select the specific datatypes and sites you want to include.

• Patient Abstract

  Displays a compilation of labs and reports in a multi-pane window. The top two panes include common and recent labs. The lower pane displays the most recent reports from each data category (cardiology, radiology, pathology, and so on).

• All Labs

  Displays test results from Chemistry, Hematology, Immunology, Microbiology, and Blood Bank, organized by date and test grouping.

• Lab Test Lookup

  Allows you to look up one or more specific test results from Chemistry, Hematology, and Immunology.

• STAR (Snapshot of Tests and Reports)

  Allows you to copy and print all available labs and reports. Checkboxes at the top of the view allow you to select the datatypes and sites you want to include. Other options allow you to select related data to include when copying or printing (such as reference ranges, lab glossary, comments, headers, etc).

Note: The remaining two options under Results provide an alternate view of the Summary screen (LMR Summary) and allow you to set user preferences associated with other Results modules (Home).

You can also use the Results Manager module to assist you in following up lab results with patients, including the automated creation of lab letters. See Overview of the Results Manager for details.
