Laboratory Result Reporting and Tracking
Streamline your clinical operations with our automated Laboratory Result Reporting and Tracking workflow. Eliminate manual errors and reduce turnaround times by implementing a standardized process for real-time diagnostic tracking, secure automated notifications, and seamless integration between lab departments and electronic health records (EHR). Optimize patient safety and ensure regulatory compliance with end-to-end visibility into every test result status.
Start
Start of the Workflow/Process.
1. Initialize Lab Request
Create a new entry in the 'Lab Requests' data model when a sample is received.
2. Update Sample Status
Update the status of the Lab Request entry to 'In Progress' once testing begins.
3. Assign Lab Technician
Create a task assigned to a technician to perform the specific biological/chemical analysis.
4. Retrieve Reference Ranges
Get reference range values from the 'Reference Standards' data model to compare against results.
5. Log Test Results
Create a new entry in the 'Test Results' data model containing the raw numerical values.
6. Calculate Deviation
Execute a formula to calculate the difference between the observed result and the reference range.
7. Flag Abnormal Results
Update the 'Test Results' entry to mark it as 'Critical' or 'Abnormal' if the deviation exceeds thresholds.
8. Calculate Daily Lab Throughput
Aggregate the total number of completed test entries for the current date to monitor lab capacity.
9. Quality Control Review
Create a task for the Lab Manager to verify and sign off on abnormal results.
10. Generate Lab Report
Create a formal PDF/Digital report summarizing the findings for the specific Lab Request.
11. Finalize Lab Request
Update the original Lab Request entry status to 'Completed' and attach the report link.
12. Notify Clinician
Send an email to the requesting physician containing the finalized report and any critical alerts.
13. Urgent Alert SMS
Send an SMS notification to the On-Call Supervisor if a 'Critical' result is detected.
