We have been using a LETTER to pull together lab results. Lots of hard-coded MEL to get the last OBS values. Our staff would like to have something much more customizable.
[ ] include Order-LDL LDL-result-date LDL-result-value LDL-normal-range
and continue down the list of many different possible orders/results.
So, does anyone have any examples they would like to share? Or any ideas of what would be a great approach/solution?
Below is an example of part of our current blocking of results:
The results of the tests performed during your visit are as follows:
Cholesterol Tests
Cholesterol {LAST_SIGNED_OBS_VALUE('cholesterol')} Normal = 110-199 {LAST_SIGNED_OBS_DATE('cholesterol')}
We don't have anything like that setup. I too am interested if someone else does. Thinking about it would it be better handled in a report? You could give staff the option to pick the lab values they want to return. This is very simple and would need to be changed to make it dynamic, have the range in the report and make sure you are getting the most recent obs value, but you can see what I am thinking:
select obs.OBSVALUE,OBSDATE
from PatientProfile pp
join obs ON pp.PId = obs.pid
join OBSHEAD ON obs.HDID = OBSHEAD.HDID
where pp.PatientProfileId = 'x' AND obshead.NAME = 'LDL'
We use SM Lab results to patient encounter type to send lab results directly to patients through secure messaging.
Not familiar with "SM Lab Results". Is that some kind of CC form? Where did you get it, or is there a way to share the format?
This is what I am imagining. Hoping to do in a VFE form, where a user can check-box items to be included in a document to be given/mailed/portal to the patient.
Joe, that is what the SM Lab results form is. If you have Centricity Patient Portal, you can go onto Surescripts support website and they have the forms there that you can down load. We have taken that form and made some minor adjustments to it for our clinic.
