Use the Results tab in Summary Views to view and update the status of a patient's results and to attach new results.
Status types
All results have a status assigned to help manage their workflow. The status types are (I) Initial, (P) Pending and (C) Complete.
- (I) Initial - no one has looked at the results. Results arrive in the Result Inbox and Patient Summary View with this status.
- (P) Actioned - results that have been looked at and are awaiting further action.
- (C) Complete - means no further action required. Results were discussed with the patient or did not need to be.
