Test Tab
Electronic test results that have been filed from Mail Manager, and those added manually from within Consultation Manager, can be viewed within the Patient Records' Tests tab.
The Vision 3 Framework views (eg Initial View 5) can include a Test (List) tab. On some Vision 3 Framework views, there is an alternative Test Summary Tab, where the results are arranged by category in a tree format where you can click on + to expand lines and - to collapse.
Sorting the List
The results are listed chronologically, latest at the top. You can resort the list by clicking on a column header such as Description which then sort the results by category.

View Results
If you right click on a test result line, the Source/Action option shows the individual message with the Actions tab selected to enable you to process and, if appropriate, complete the action quickly and effectively without changing screens, but only if the result was filed from Mail Manager.
Right Click Source/Action
This is the same screen reached when you click on your mailbox icon 
to view current mail, then click on View Results (see Mailbox icon - View Mail Manager results). It has options for File All, File Abnormal, Print, Add Action, Actions, Notes, Close.
If the result has been entered manually, only an Additional Entity Information screen is shown, showing when the result was created.
Audit Trail
The right mouse menu also has an Audit Trail option, showing the provider details of the specimen, and an audit trail of the users viewing, filing, actioning, and completing the result.
At the bottom of the screen, click on the down arrow to display the dates the record was written, then updated.
If you then click on a Changed date, the main screen displays green fields where the field has changed on the date and time, and operator shown; it now shows the current entry. Click Close. Click on the double arrow >> at the bottom right and scroll down for further details.
Date of Filing
The date used for filing a test result is the date of collection of the specimen, and if this is unavailable, then the date of each individual result line, or the date from the laboratory.
The Test tab displays the same interaction with the timeline but drag and drop is not enabled.
Abnormal Results
Any abnormal results are shown in red. This is a flag from the path lab indicating the result is outside the normal range.
Result Range
The test result range, whether entered manually or if received electronically via Mail Manager are displayed on the Test and Journal view.
Tab View Options
If you are on the Tests tab of Patient Record, you can change the view options by right clicking on the Test tab header, and selecting View Options. See Journal List Properties.
