View Results Pending Release

1 Click the Message Center tab.

Tip: Review the Results Pending Release area of the Quick View page to see if you have any results pending release. If you do have results pending release, the Results Pending Release area also indicates whether the new lab results are normal or out of range.

2 In the Labs menu, click Results Pending Release.

The results pending release page appears, displaying a list of the results that you have pending release.

Note: If you would like to specify filter settings, you can follow the instructions described in step 3.

To apply the filter settings to the Results Pending Release list, click Filter.

Note: If you select multiple filtering options, only results matching all of the filtering options appear. For example, if you filter by Ordering Provider and Out of Range Results, then only out of range pending release results for the specified ordering provider will appear in the Results Pending Release list.

Click the clear filter link to remove any filtering currently applied, such as the default filter settings.

Note: To ensure that all pending release results are reviewed, it is recommended that you periodically review the results pending release page with no filter applied.
