System for follow up of tests and results

An effective practice workflow is vital

eCorrespondence Protocol

Action items from your Inbox systematically

Reduce risk - add explanatory comments

• Medico-legal audit trail • Clear direction for practice staff when

communicating with patients

Maintain health summary currency

For recording chronic conditions or significant events

Add Reminder for future follow-up

Design your practice ‘Recall & Reminder system’

to allow staff to easily differentiate between

preventive health reminders & ‘clinically significant’

recalls ie where there is a probability of harm if patient

is not followed up.

Check off Outstanding Requests

Reduces the risk of an important test being missed.

Check ‘unallocated’ eCorrespondence

How do you action results for other clinicians?

Clinical > Unchecked Reports (from the patient record)

or File > change Inbox

(from the Inbox)

Mark result as given

Patient record

Follow Up Inbox

List of Investigation Results

Follow-up Results

Inbox • Clinicians check regularly

• Action according to protocol

Follow Up Inbox

• Each action has an associated list

• Document contact attempts.

• Check ‘contacted’ versus ‘given’.

Check for ‘contacted’ but not ‘given’

Managing ‘clinically significant’ requests

Add an ‘action’ to help track/follow-up ‘clinically significant’ requests.1

2 Follow-up ‘outstanding actions’ regularly. Main screen > Clinical > Actions

Ordering tests – more advanced tips

• Repeat same screening test in ‘previous requests’ or re-print ‘lost’ request form.

• View related ‘previous results’ from ordering screen.

• Add custom tests in ‘Setup favourites’

• Add screening protocols in ‘Setup favourites’

• Manage ‘outstanding requests’ from patient record or Inbox.

Scan into the Inbox…the path to paperless

Label and store documents systematically for easy retrieval by

clinicians when needed

Create your practice protocol for effective labelling

What’s New?

New – Pathology & DI in My Health Record

Pathology & Radiology in My Health Record

If you are looking for information that you did not receive directly - think My Health Record

Prepare for patients seeing their own results

- doctors will still receive results first. Detail your practice process for follow-up.

- just because a result is marked red/‘abnormal’/outside the value range doesn’tmean the result is not normal for them.

- just because a result is marked ‘normal’ doesn’t mean further discussion orinvestigations are not necessary.

- patients can let you know when you order the test if they do not want a specificresult uploaded to their My Health Record.

Now might be a good time to start to explain to your patients:

Manage well for positive change

Create a sample dialogue to fit your own practice system.

Example of GP dialogue (relevant to one specific practice system):

“I receive your results directly. You may also see those results. If I am worried I will contact you. If you are worried please make an appointment and I will be happy to discuss them in detail with you”.
