Test results follow-up tracking

AI tracking so abnormal test results are acted on

Results the lab has flagged as abnormal are tracked until a clinician acknowledges them and the agreed action happens, with escalation if they stall.

01 today

The problem

Results come back after the patient has left the clinic or ward, sometimes after the requesting doctor has moved on. Abnormal results can sit unacknowledged, and the follow-up that was intended never happens. Missed results are a known cause of harm.

02 the run

What the AI does

  1. Step 1: Reads results as they are filed, using the lab's own abnormal flags and your rules for what needs action.
  2. Step 2: Checks that the requesting clinician, or their cover, has acknowledged each flagged result.
  3. Step 3: Reminds the clinician and escalates to a named deputy if a result stays unacknowledged past your time limit.
  4. Step 4: Tracks the follow-up the clinician records, such as a repeat test or a call to the patient, until it is done.
  5. Step 5: Lists open results for each team every day, oldest first.

Where a person approves

Clinicians interpret every result and decide what to do; the tool only uses the lab's flags and your rules and never interprets results itself.

04 after

What changes

Flagged results do not go unseen when people change shifts or rotations, and every intended follow-up has an owner until it is done.
