Through CPRS, you can review lab test results in many formats Based on user feedback, CPRS has made some changes to the Labs tab display, including adding two new reports, replacing one report, a new order for items in the Lab Results pane, and some changes to the display of the reports.
Two new items have been added:
Lab Overview (Collected Specimens)
Pending Lab orders.
The Lab Status report has been replaced by the Lab Orders (All) report.
With CPRS version 30.B, the order of reports in the Lab Results pane, where the users select which lab report they want to view, is different. The two new reports will be the top two items listed—unless your site has customized the order of the items.
Most Recent
Cumulative
All Tests by (specified) Date
Selected Tests by Date
Worksheet
Graph
Microbiology
Anatomic Pathology
Blood Bank
Lab Status
Note: The first item in the list could be different at your site. A new parameter enables sites to set which report they want to appear first in the list. This will also affect the data that displays when the user first goes to the Labs tab.
Note: Items in bold have changed order. The two new reports are the first two items in the list and Cumulative has moved to the bottom. Lab Orders (All) is new and replaces the Lab Status report.
CPRS has two ways to select the date range for Lab reports. The first way is by using the date pane in the lower left corner of the labs tab when a report is selected as shown below. In this screen capture, the nationally released order for the reports is displayed in the Lab Results pane.
The second way, added with CPRS GUI v.30.B, enables sites to set a parameter to instead have the date ranges set using radio buttons above the main data pane. In the screen capture below, the parameter to have a different report at the top of the Lab Results pane has also been set.
To view lab test results, use these steps:
1. Select the Labs tab.
2. In the Lab Results box, select the type of results you want to see.
Note: A plus sign (+) by a lab test means it has a schedule.
For some selections, you must determine which test results you want to see. If the Select Lab Test dialog appears, you need to choose the tests you want to see.
3. If necessary, select the tests for which you want to see the results.
4. Also, you may need to choose a date range (Today, One Week, Two Weeks, One Month, Six Months, One Year, Two Years, or All Results.)
