Lab results and releasing them to patients

1. Enter a result on the Lab screen, or for an outside laboratory from Doctor → Results → Enter result: one box per value.
2. CareLink flags each value against the range for the patient's sex and age. A critical value raises an alert for the ordering doctor until it is marked as acted on.
3. Show trends draws a value over time; Printable report prints the table.
4. Press Release to patient, with a plain-language comment if you like. Until then the patient sees nothing. The patient gets a notification with no medical details and reads the result in plain words in the app.

The ranges are typical adult ranges for flagging; ask your admin to match them to your laboratory's.
