Sign Multiple Lab Results - Chart Note

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).

 

 

  1. Open a patient lab report that contains results.
     

  2. 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.



     

  3. 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.



     

  4. 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.
