3
Save a draft
Click Save draft. You see Draft saved. You can come back to it.
4
Sign and release
Click Sign & release. You see Result released.
What happens after you release
- The ordering doctor sees the result in their Inbox.
- A non-sensitive result appears in the patient’s record.
- A sensitive result, such as an HIV test, is held. The patient sees nothing about it, not even the test name, until the doctor releases it to them after counselling.
Printing
You can print a result slip. It includes non-sensitive results only. A sensitive result never prints.What you can’t do
- Amend a released result. There is no amend option yet.
- Release without a verified MLSCN licence.
The list of which tests count as sensitive is a starter list, waiting for clinical sign-off.
