On Friday, May 8, we’re updating the auto-release times for many of our non-sensitive lab and test results to 24 hours after finalization or discharge. This gives you a shorter window to review results, but your patients will be able to receive this information sooner.
Auto-Releasing 24 Hours after Finalization
- Non-sensitive lab results
- COVID-19 test results (regardless of encounter type)
Auto-Releasing 24 Hours after Discharge
- ED test results
- Inpatient test results
- Basic Metabolic Panel, CBC Hemogram and CBC with Platelet and Differential are instantly released at finalization for MyChart Your Hospital Stay
Note: Sensitive lab results, including tumor markers, genetic testing, pathology reports and non-screening mammogram exams will continue to auto-release 10 days after finalization. Imaging studies will continue to auto-release four days after finalization.
You can continue to use the In Basket Results Folder or the MyChart Results Release Activity to manually prevent results from auto-releasing.
