Lab Results in Personal Health Records
Lab results are automatically sent as part of personal health records (PHR) after they are reviewed and signed off by the provider. PHRs are sent to a patient's NextGen® PxP Portal account in the following scenarios:
-
- When a patient requests PHRs from the portal
- When a patient manually requests PHRs from NextGen® PxP Portal, they receive either a full PHR or an encounter-based PHR depending on the date range they select. The PHR document contains data from all encounters whether the encounters are locked or unlocked. Manually-requested PHRs display all signed-off lab results.
-
- When a patient completes enrollment in the portal
- When a patient's enrollment is complete, they receive full PHR. Full PHRs display all signed-off lab results.
-
- When an encounter is locked in NextGen® Enterprise EHR
- When an encounter is locked in NextGen® Enterprise EHR the patients receive an encounter-based PHR on their NextGen® PxP Portal account. Encounter-based PHRs display signed-off lab results only for the locked encounters.
Additionally, you can configure the Personal Health Records for Stage 3 Meaningful Use compliance by selecting the MU Compatible checkbox in the Orders module. This will display details such as the performing entity, the specimen source, or the location where the specimen is collected.
