# Lab Result Follow-Through

> Lab results become reviewed triage and follow-up drafts.

Markdown view of https://www.tabflows.com/workflows/lab-result-follow-through — the HTML page is canonical.

When an authorized clinic user starts lab follow-through from available results, Tabflows compares them against patient history and reference ranges, highlights abnormal values, and prepares the right follow-up — chart note, patient message, or provider task — for review.

## Workflow snapshot

Context in, prepared action out — what Tabflows reads in a user-started browser session, and what it stages for review.

### Initiation

An authorized clinic user starts the workflow from a lab result available in Quest, Labcorp, or a local lab integration.

User-initiated. Runs in the authorized clinic user's active browser session and uses the systems the user is already signed into.

### Apps connected

Quest

Labcorp

Elation

Spruce

### Steps

2. 2Compares against history
3. 3Flags abnormals for triage
4. 4Prepares team follow-up
5. 5Drafts the patient message

### Action out

Abnormal results are highlighted with reviewed follow-up tasks and patient-message drafts.

Tabflows does not store EHR credentials, does not independently initiate EHR access, and prepares work for review rather than acting as an open-ended autonomous EHR agent.

Saves ~6 minutes per result

Hey Tabflows — set up user-initiated lab result follow-through. When I choose a Quest or Labcorp result, compare it against the patient's history and reference ranges. Prepare routine results for the Elation chart. Flag abnormals and stage the follow-up — 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 complete it.
