Graph Multiple Results for a Test

You can graph the results of tests repeated several times for the same patient. The graph uses all the results for the same tests that are displayed on the results flow sheet. If you filter the results, only the selected test data is shown in the graph.

You can graph the results in the order they were returned or have the most recent results displayed first in the graph.

  1. In the Results tab, select in the row for a test that has been performed on more than one date.
  2. On the Results tab Top toolbar, select Graph.
    The Plotted results fortest window opens, displaying a graph of all the selected results.

    The Show earliest results first check box is selected by default to display the earliest results first in the graph.
  3. To show the latest results first, clear the Show earliest results first check box.
  4. To change the minimum or maximum Y-axis value, enter the new value in the field, and select Update. The revised number appears on the Y-axis.
  5. If required, select the Calculate range from result values check box.
  6. To view the value for a specific result, select the result point (vertex) in the graph.
  7. To close the Plotted results for <test> window, select the red X at the upper right.
