Viewing results for outpatients on a desktop

In Nervecentre, when a pathology order for an outpatient is placed a clinician prints a request form and gives the form to the patient.

The patient takes their request form to the place they are having their sample taken. The sample might be collected by:

  • A place that has Nervecentre

    For example, a hospital. Nervecentre sends a message to the lab testing the sample.

  • A place without Nervecentre

    For example, a GP.

When the sample has been collected, the sample is sent to the lab for testing. The lab sends the result back to Nervecentre.

If a sample was collected:

  • In Nervecentre, the result is solicited.

    The order and the result are linked.

  • Outside of Nervecentre, the result is unsolicited.

    The order and the result are not linked. You might see the order and the result as separate items. The order times out after a specific time. When the order times out depends on your organisation.
