How to release results to the requesting facility¶
Approved results reach the facility as a printed report or as an email attachment. This guide covers both.
Before starting¶
- Results approved. See How to review and approve results
- Permission to print or email results
Only approved results can be released. A result still awaiting approval does not appear on either page.
Print results¶
- Go to HIV VIRAL LOAD → Management → Print Result.
- Stay on the Results not yet Printed tab.
- Filter to the results to print.
| Filter | Use |
|---|---|
| Facility Name | One facility's results, ready to send together |
| Sample Test Date | Everything tested on one date |
| Batch Code | One analyzer run |
| Patient ID or Patient Name | One patient |
| Province/State and District/County | A region |
- Select Search.
- Tick the results to print.
- Select Print Selected Results PDF.
InteLIS builds one PDF holding every selected report.
The limit is 1000 results at a time. Selecting more than that stops the print. Split the work across several prints.
Reprint a result¶
Switch to the Results already Printed tab, find the result, and print it again. The two tabs exist so a batch of reports can be printed once without reprinting what has already gone out.
Email results¶
- Go to HIV VIRAL LOAD → Test Result Management → E-mail Test Result.
- Choose the facility in Facility Name (To).
- Enter a Subject and a Message.
- Filter to the results to send.
Set Mail Sent Status to Samples Not yet Mailed to leave out anything already sent.
- Select Search.
- Tick the results, or use Select All.
- Select Next and confirm.
The limit is 100 samples per email. Selecting more than that stops the send.
The results go to the email addresses recorded against the facility. If a facility has no address recorded, ask the administrator to add one under ADMIN → Facilities.
Export results to a spreadsheet¶
Where a facility or programme wants the data rather than the reports, export it.
- Go to HIV VIRAL LOAD → Management → Export Results.
- Set the filters.
- Select the export option.
The export gives a spreadsheet, not patient reports. Send patient reports as PDFs.
Confirm it worked¶
For printing, the results move from Results not yet Printed to Results already Printed.
For email, set Mail Sent Status to Already Mailed Samples and search. The results appear there.
