In the patient portal, users have always been able to view discrete lab data—results that come over from an interface directly into the EHR. However, lab results are often uploaded to the EHR as documents from outside sources, and patients still need visibility into them as well.

With this update, lab result documents can now be included in the Lab Results area of the portal, making it easier for patients to find all their lab results in one place—whether from an interface or an uploaded document. This feature is configured in Portal Admin > General > Site Setup > Portal Menus Section 'My Results.' Click the box to show this option.
