We have a resident program here in the hospital and we had a situation where the resident ordered the lab and when the results came back in, it only went into the residents desktop and not the authorizing physicians. This is okay if the resident was in the office, he was on vacation and an abnormal lab was sitting in his inbox. Is there a way to route lab results directly into the auth physician and not the residents?
Hello,
I'm Pat Wolfram with Liaison Healthcare. As you may know, we're a vendor that provides EMR-Link, a complementary product to Centricity's lab order/result workflow used by about 75% of the Centricity installed base.
This is a common problem for teaching institutions. We solve this problem by allowing your practice to define who should receive lab results, the ordering care provider or the authorizing provider. It's in use by a number of our clients and is a simple selection in your EMR-Link account settings.
I don't know which lab your send orders to but it's something we can set up for any lab. Here's a link to the labs we integrate to for our Centricity clients..... http://www.liaisonhealthcare.com/partners/labs-in-our-network/
You can contact me at 971-255-9282, or [email protected]
Best regards,

For Residents, we route all Resident results into a general "Preceptor" box (based upon OBR.16) for review before they get passed along. That way they get checked for criticality.
In the absence of EMRLink (which we have and it is awesome for routing), we use a cross reference file *.xrf in our other interfaces through Admin setup in GE to "steal" results and route them elsewhere. The file says If Dr., then route here. It can route to anywhere, and it is interface specific.
