Powerform - Documenting Lab Results From Other Facilities

Powerforms for documenting lab results from another facility are being introduced and will replace some existing forms. Results documented on these forms will display in the patient flowsheets in Powerchart and are readily identified as coming from an outside source. The name of the facility that processed the lab is a required field and the form cannot be completed without this field. The forms are similarly named "Outside Lab..." followed by the type of results that the form entails (CBC, Chem, FOB, HIV Screen, etc).

Lab results that are not available on these forms will continue to follow the same process previously defined by your clinic (i.e. scan into chart, reviewed by provider, etc).

These forms can be found in your Ad Hoc folders begining May 23, 2018.

Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Outside Source Powerform

Fecal Occult Blood (FOB) Outside Source section has been added to the Basic Labs Outside Source Ad Hoc form to document FOB results a patient may have received from a provider other than UMC, UMCP, or TTP. This section can be accessed from the Basic Labs Outside Source form or from the Health Maintenance tab under Colorectal Cancer Screening. Results will satisfy HM for 365 days.

The Performed on date should reflect the date the test was resulted, not the day it is being charted in Powerchart.
