Hey Tabflows — triage every lab result that lands. When a Quest or Labcorp result comes in, compare it against the patient's history and reference ranges. Auto-file routine results to the Elation chart. Flag abnormals and route them — MA callback, provider review, or patient message — with the result attached. When a Spruce reply is needed, draft it in my voice so I can review and send.
