There are two ways to trend
a patient’s laboratory results.
1. From the Laboratory Results Screen
The quickest and most convenient way to trend your patient’s
lab results is right from the Laboratory Results screen. The owner’s
name is a quick link right to the Patient Trending Report. Simply
by clicking the owner’s name, you can launch the Patient Trending
Report and locate any results found with an exact match to the owner
and patient name on the current result.
Once the Patient Trending Report screen has been launched, you
can broaden the search criteria by using partial strings, allowing
for possible typographical errors that could have occurred at lab
entry.
For example: Where the owner’s name is Hoffman Sheri, to broaden
the search, delete alpha characters from the end of each name, in
the owner and patient name fields. Then click GO.
This will find any results with a client last name beginning with
the letters “HOFF”, who have a patient’s name
beginning with the letters “MAND.”
