Whenever multiple lab results are received for a patient from the same vendor and for the same collection date, the system will group these results together offering you the ability to page through each result of the group, as well as the ability to sign these multiple results as a group. Use the following steps to sign multiple lab results that are a part of a group (same patient, same lab vendor, and same collection date).
Open a patient lab report that contains results.
When you open a lab result that is part of a group
(same patient, same lab vendor, and same collection date), the system
will display a label that shows the number of the results you are currently
viewing, as well as a Previous Result
and Next Result button that allows
you to easily page through all of the results. Click the Previous
Result and Next Result
button to page through the reports in the lab result group.
NOTE: When you are paging through the results any new lab results that
have been imported and meet the vendor/collection date criteria automatically
be added to the group.
When you have finished viewing the various results,
click the Sign button in the toolbar
at the top of the face sheet, or click Note
> Sign.
A Sign Multiple Results dialog will appear allowing
you to select any of the results in the group you wish to sign at this
time. Do note, for the results to appear in this dialog you would have
needed to review (read) each lab result. Any unread results will have
an asterisk (*) beside them. Once the applicable results have been selected,
simply click the Sign button.
After the Sign button is clicked, the selected lab results will be
signed and all reminders will be removed from your To-Do List and any
other user that may have this on their To-Do List.
