About This Automation

Lab result distribution requires staff to manually receive results, extract data, format reports for both patients and providers, and send them through multiple channels. This manual process is slow, error-prone, and creates bottlenecks that delay patient care.

Automation captures incoming results, extracts data automatically, generates both patient-friendly and clinical reports, and distributes them through the patient portal and email. Results reach patients and providers within hours instead of days, with a complete audit trail.

Key features
Capture lab results from email, patient portal, and fax automatically
Extract patient data and test values without manual data entry
Verify patient identity against your practice database
Generate patient-friendly and clinical report versions as PDFs
Distribute reports to patients via portal and email, and to providers via email
Log all delivery actions with timestamps and status for compliance

3. Generate Patient Report

The automation creates a patient-friendly PDF report with plain-language interpretation and reference ranges, stored.

4. Generate Provider Report

The automation creates a clinical PDF report with full lab notes and reference ranges, stored.

5. Send Patient Notification

The automation sends the patient-friendly report via email and uploads it to the patient portal, with a delivery confirmation logged.

6. Send Provider Notification

The automation sends the clinical report to the referring provider via email with a delivery confirmation logged.

7. Log Distribution Record

The automation creates a timestamped record and the patient chart, including recipient, delivery method, and status.
