Integration into Workflow
The most effective implementation of lab interpretation software
comes from integrating it seamlessly into your existing practice
workflow. Consider the following approaches:
● Pre-Appointment Preparation: Process lab results through your
chosen software before patient appointments, allowing you
to focus the consultation on insights rather than analysis.
● During-Appointment Education: Use the visual tools within the
software to explain findings to patients in real time,
enhancing their understanding and engagement.
● Post-Appointment Follow-Up: Generate comprehensive
reports that patients can reference after their appointment,
reinforcing the information discussed during the consultation.
● Longitudinal Tracking: Schedule regular follow-up testing and
use the software's comparison features to demonstrate
progress visually to patients [19].
