Unable to view results in the patient's portal

- If result can be viewed, provide practice with workflow on how to view test results.
- If result cannot be viewed, escalate to Clarisse.
Request to add test codes
- Obtain the following from the client: Test code, test name, mapped CPT code (if applicable) and AOE (if applicable)
- Check if test code is searchable in practice site
- Forward request to Jhoie and cc labs@wrshealth.com if test code can't be pulled up in practice site.
Lab results not received
- Get sample patient, ordered test name, date it was ordered, date it was transmitted by lab to practice, foreign accession number (unique ID of result)
- Check all appropriate pages where labs results may have gone to:
- Administration > Order Tracking Setup > Transaction Errors > search for unmatched results and look for patient's name or the test name
- Order Tracking > search using "Completed On" and "Date" and look for the patient's name
- Right click on patient name and select "View Test Result" and look for the result
- If the test result cannot be found in any of the above pages, escalate to to Jhoie and cc accountmanagement@wrshealth.com with complete details

- Go to Administration > Order Tracking Setup > Messages sent to lab > check if requisition form was generated or not
- If requisition was not generated, open the note and see what codes were ordered
- On a test patient, add the codes and compare it with the sub-test codes on the sample patient's note. if the codes do not match, advise practice to re-order the panel and not to delete any of the sub-test codes for that panel.
Note: this issue is caused by deleting one or more sub-tests within a panel
Providers not receiving results in Task queue
- Get sample patient, ordered test name, and date it was ordered
- Go to clinical logs to review who worked on the note.
- If code was not added or ordered by the provider or his ancillary staff, inform practice that results will only go to the task queue of the supervising provider/ordering provider and ancillary staff assigned to that provider (as shown in EMR Setup > Supervising Provider).
- If code was added or ordered by the provider or his ancillary staff,
- check result file and confirm if the provider name is on the result file. If not, it means the lab failed to match the providers name.
- Advise client that the lab failed to match the providers name and that we will reach out to the lab.
