On the recent lab trend card as it is now it shows the trend by panel rather than individual test. We compare the labs for the last year and if the patient had a BMP at most visits but had a CMP at one, the results of the CMP are listed separately so we cannot get a true comparison.
For Console, we recently made changes to the 'Lab Recent Trends' card that should help with this issue. I am including the release note for that change.
Previously the Lab Trend card displayed test results by panel or stand-alone orders versus the ability to view an individual test. A filter has been added to the top of the card so that a user may free-text search for one or more tests. Each unique test will display the last 4 results regardless of which order or panel it is subordinate to.
I would like some feedback to know if this addresses the need here.
