Patients & reports
Verification & critical values
Review, authorize, and flag results that need urgent attention.
Before a report reaches a patient, it should be reviewed. Labgen separates result entry from authorization, and surfaces dangerously abnormal values so they're never missed.
Verify and authorize
Results move through clear states. A result is entered, then verified by a qualified staff member, then authorized (finalized) by a pathologist. Keeping these steps distinct gives you a checkpoint and a clear record of who signed off what.
The two steps do different things to the queue. Verifying does not move a test — it is the technician's second pair of eyes, and the test stays at Pending. Authorizing does: the test moves to Auth on the Report Status board, where it can be printed, dispatched, and released.
This screen is a review station, not a list of buttons. Opening a test shows its full parameter table with live high/low flags, inline value editing, the audit line of who entered and who verified, and a link straight into the Result Entry Station — with Verify and Authorize sitting at the bottom, so nothing is ever signed off blind.
Or work it from the board
If your lab grants you the Verify on Report Status permission (Lab Config → Staff Permissions), a Verify/Report chip appears on the Report Status board and you can process the whole queue there without switching screens.
Critical (panic) values
Some results are medically urgent — a critically low platelet count, for example. Labgen flags these as critical values so your team can act and notify the treating doctor promptly.
Acknowledge critical alerts
Critical values should be acknowledged once acted upon. Acknowledgement rate and response time are tracked as quality indicators in MIS & reporting.
Amending authorized results
If you must change a result after it has been verified or finalized, Labgen requires a reason and logs the amendment. This is the post-authorization audit trail accreditation bodies expect — see the Data logger.
