Record and review lab results

Lab Inbox is the clinic-wide queue for pending manual results, review, and assigned follow-up.

1. Enter the result

Open Lab Inbox or the patient’s lab chart, select the pending result, and enter values with the correct units and reference information.

2. Mark clinical review

A completed result is not finished until the appropriate clinician reviews it. Record the review rather than relying on a message or verbal handoff.

3. Assign and resolve follow-up

Assign required client or patient follow-up to a named teammate and document the resolution.

For a duplicate, typo, or wrong-patient result, mark it entered in error and create a linked replacement. Do not overwrite the source result.
