documentation are based on Evident’s interpretation of the Promoting Interoperability Program
regulations, technical specifications and vendor specifications provided by CMS, ONC and NIST.
Each client is solely responsible for its attestation being a complete and accurate reflection of its

audit are maintained. With the exception of vendor documentation that may be required in support of
a client’s attestation, Evident and TruBridge bear no responsibility for attestation information

 Overview 2

Chapter 2 Overview
The Lab Results option from the patient's chart, provides a Results Summary Screen of completed
laboratory results. From the Result List Screen, results are displayed in a list format and may be
reviewed by test or in a comparative format. The displays may be filtered by specified parameters
such as visit, date, test and sub-department.

NOTE: The summarized results available will include all data resulted from both hospital and clinic
laboratories that are departments of the hospital.

NOTE: Facilities outside of the United States may choose a date format of MMDDYY, DDMMYY or
YYMMDD to be used on all date fields in the Lab Results Application. Where four-digit dates
display, a date format of MMDD, DDMM or MMDD, respectively, will be used. Whichever date
format is selected will be reflected in all date fields and column displays throughout the application.
An Evident Representative will need to be contacted in order for the date format to be changed.

Lab Results - Comparative View

The user may select the Refresh button in the Action Bar to update the results if any labs have been
resulted after the Result Summary Screen was accessed.

Configure Flag Filters: Thrive has a default filter named "Exclude Pending Orders." This filter may
be configured to be present each time the Lab Results Screen in accessed. When selected, orders
with a complete date and time will be listed. When deselected, orders that have a status of
collected, received or unverified (Pending status criteria) will display along with the completed lab
procedures. Other filters, such as an Abnormal or Critical filter may also be configured to delimit
the lab results.

Result Type: Defines how results may be viewed. The Lab Results screen defaults to the Test
result type the first time the screen is accessed. It has a "sticky" function, meaning if the default is
changed to Comparative, and the screen is exited and then reaccessed, the Result Type will
maintain the previous selection.
Test: Lab results display in a list format in alphabetical order. A lab results record consists of
the following information:
o Test Name
o *C if a result has been amended (corrected results) after completion.

o Range: The normal values or ranges for the test.
o Collect date and time.
Comparative: Lab results display in columnated format. The test analytes will be listed on the
left along with their normal ranges and units of measure divided by sub-department. The order
of sub-departments are arranged by their respective codes (A, B, C, etc) while their associated
analytes will be arranged in order by their sequence number in the Reference Range Table.
Analytes with the same sequence number and those without sequence numbers are listed
alphabetically following the sequenced analytes. Lab results display to the right of the analytes in
reverse chronological order by collect date and time (newest to oldest).

available when Test is selected as the Result Type.

The date range defaults to a 90-day range from the current date.
