View Sample Results

You can view test results for reported samples from the sample overview grid. To access this feature, the laboratory must grant Sample Results permissions for your display template.

From the Sample Results page, you can use search criteria to further filter the results. If you have a question about the data you are viewing, click the Contact Lab button to send an email to the laboratory.

Note: Because LabOnline is customizable based on laboratory needs, some of the options referenced in the steps and images below may not be available or may be named differently. Direct any questions to your laboratory.

To view reported results for samples, complete the following steps:

Select Samples from the LabOnline main menu.
Click the Reported quick filter button above the Samples overview grid.
Use the Search Criteria and Client drop-down list to locate the sample whose results you want to view.

Note: LabOnline users with universal patient search permission can access all available clients when viewing work orders, samples or patients. The results grid displays all the results for the type of search performed for the selected client and does not return duplicates.
On the Samples overview grid, click the link in the My Sample ID column that matches your identifier for the sample with the results you want to view. If your identifier matches more than one sample for the selected Client, the results for all reported samples from the matching identifier are displayed.
To analyze results across samples from a given collection site, click the link in the Collection Site column from the Samples overview grid. The results for all reported samples for the selected client and collection site display.
To display results for a specific sample, click the appropriate Lab Sample ID column link on the Samples overview grid.
Use the Search Criteria to further limit the results as needed.
To return to the samples grid, click the Back to Samples link near the top of the page.
