Review lab results
Here's how to read incoming results with their trends, then release them to the patient portal.
You'll review a new lab result, check its trends against prior tests, and sign off to make it visible to your patient. This workflow ensures you catch any concerning patterns before the patient sees the data.
Results land in your Labs queue — click any one marked Result ready.
Results marked as ready are waiting for your review and approval before they reach the patient portal.
Trends plot every prior value — here, John's HbA1c has come down steadily over the past year.
Trends help you spot gradual changes — like John's steady HbA1c improvement — that might warrant a follow-up conversation.
The result table lists each analyte with its reference range — sign off to release it to the patient portal.
Your sign-off confirms the result is accurate and ready for the patient to see.
What's next
Once you've released the result, your patient can view it on their portal and you can document any clinical notes or next steps in their chart.
