How Can I Connect a Patient's Lab Results to Their Doctor Automatically?
You connect lab results to the right doctor by linking an uploaded result directly to the patient's record and ordering doctor, triggering a notification without manual routing. On Jestor, this runs through a lab results table connected to doctor assignments.
A lab result that arrives and has to be manually routed to the right doctor adds delay and risks the result sitting unreviewed if the routing step gets missed.
What manual lab result routing costs
- Delay between a result arriving and the right doctor actually seeing it
- Risk of a result sitting unreviewed if manual routing gets missed
- Staff time spent determining which doctor ordered which test
- No automated signal that a result needs attention
How automatic lab result routing works
- An uploaded result connects directly to the patient's record and ordering doctor
- A notification triggers automatically, without manual routing by staff
- The doctor sees the result connected to the patient who needs follow-up
- Nothing sits unreviewed, since the connection happens the moment the result is uploaded
Why Jestor fits this use case
- Automatic connection removes the delay of manual routing
- The right doctor is notified immediately, without staff determining who ordered what
- Results don't sit unreviewed, since the system flags them automatically
- This scales from occasional results to a high daily volume of lab work
