Report > Investigations Description
LOINC Codes Received Counts investigation result data received where a code has been included by the lab (for example, a LOINC).

Use this report to assess which results you receive from your lab that you can report on at an atomic level.

  • Observation name - the name given to the element by your lab.
  • LOINC num - the code used by the lab for this element.
  • Test code - the name of the whole result returned by the lab.
  • Total - the number of such results received between two dates.
Outstanding Requests by Provider Lists all investigation requests for which no result has yet been matched, looking back a specified number of days, by pathology provider with the oldest requests first for living patients only.

Select the provider's name or a specific test. The provider role parameter allows you to select either the provider who made the request, regardless of a specified 'on behalf of' provider or to use the 'on behalf of' provider instead.

Patients with Unmatched Results Lists all patients with unmatched pathology results that have not been deleted. These results are not in a patient's clinical record nor have they been reviewed.

To match the results manually, select Documents and results iconDocuments and Results > Investigation Results tab and order the unreviewed results by patient name. Double-click a result to open it and then match and review it. For more information, see Reviewing and matching results.

Requested Lists all investigation requests made between two dates, organised by encounter place.
Requests and Results Count Counts all investigations requested, by name, or all results received, by name, between two dates.

The date range includes requests by date requested and results by date received.

A single result received from a pathology lab may include multiple requested tests.

Results Received Displays all results for a specified investigation received between two dates for patients between two ages at the time of the test.

Only results matched to a patient are considered.

A result of 'Not stated' may indicate a normal result - check with your pathology lab to confirm this.

Investigations Unreviewed Abnormal Content Use this report to highlight abnormal parts of results that may require immediate action. Shows all atomised results received as HL7 investigation results where:
  • The specific element is flagged as abnormal, in the relevant OBX segments.
  • The result is not yet reviewed.

Filter the report by specific test result and/or the sending laboratory.

Fictitious patients are excluded but deceased patients are included.

Unreviewed Results Lists all unreviewed pathology results.

This report can be used by providers who do not have full investigations rights but need to see which patients have received results that need reviewing.

To view the results, open the clinical record for a patient and click on the Results link in the banner. Results for patients with a patient ID of 'Unmatched' cannot be seen in the clinical record. A user with Investigations rights must first match the result to the correct patient in the Match and Review Result window.
