Lab Results are also received back electronically for any orders placed on the Charted Health Platform. The time before results are available is dependant on the various Laboratories and some provide results quicker than others. As results are provided, we make them available as "Preliminary Results".

The lab order resides within a patient record. To access the lab results for a particular patient, you will want to:

Select the "Labs" application by clicking on the
icon.Identify the order's results that you are trying to access, you will want to click on the three dots
that can be found to the right of each lab order.Select "View Results" and the PDF will be opened in a new tab within your browser.
Note: Lab Results are not immediately available to a patient within the Patient Portal. A practice needs to "Release to Patient" if they wish their patients to be able to access their results.
