Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of holding laboratory test results in a computerized environment. The method receives a laboratory test result for a healthcare order for a patient. The healthcare order comprises multiple laboratory tests. The method determines whether all of the test results for the healthcare order have been received. If all of the test results for the healthcare order have not been received, the laboratory test result is held until all of the results for the healthcare order have been received. If all of the results for the healthcare order have been received, the method compares each test result of the healthcare order to predefined criteria to determine whether each test result for the healthcare order is within a predetermined acceptable range. If each of the test results for the healthcare order is within the acceptable range, the entire order is automatically verified.
