Any lab result in the patient file may be shared with the patient via the Patient Portal. The result will be visible to the patient once it's signed off in IDEAS. The patient will then receive notification by email or text message that a new result has been published to the Portal.

Step-by-step guide

The investigative test must first be configured to be available to the patient on the Patient Portal. Clinics may choose to never publish the result of certain tests to the portal. Each test must be enabled in System Configuration > Drugs, Tests and Procedures. Go to the test record and select 'Show in Web Portal'. Any test configured to show in web portal will automatically be displayed for the patient following signoff in IDEAS.
Sign off the lab result in the Blood / Lab Tests folder of the patient file.
The patient will then receive a notification via email or sms indicating that a result is available in the Patient Portal. The content of the notification message is configured in the message template (System Configuration > Templated Messages).
Patient can view the test results on the Lab Results page of the Patient Portal. Clicking on the result will provide additional detail. The clinic can add custom text for this investigative test in System Configuration > Drugs, Tests and Procedures and adding content to the 'Text for the web' field.

Note: Revoking the signoff will remove the test from the Patient Portal.
