Lab Reviewer & Letter Writer-AI-powered lab result summaries

Example

When a patient has slightly elevated cholesterol levels but otherwise normal lab results, Lab Reviewer & Letter Writer generates a note that starts with a positive statement: 'Good Morning! Most of your lab results came back normal, which is great news. However, your cholesterol is a bit higher than we would like, which can increase your risk of heart disease. Let’s discuss some lifestyle changes that could help bring this down.'

Scenario

A patient recently had a comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP) done, and their only abnormal result is a mild elevation in cholesterol. The patient is concerned but unfamiliar with medical terms. Lab Reviewer & Letter Writer simplifies this by providing a note explaining the results in plain language, alleviating the patient’s anxiety while also offering actionable steps.

Example

09/30/2024 - CMP - Creatinine: 1.4 mg/dL (slightly elevated, consider CKD stage), ALT: 50 U/L (within range), Glucose: 110 mg/dL (borderline elevated, monitor fasting glucose).

Scenario

A clinician is reviewing the EHR before a follow-up visit. The Lab Reviewer & Letter Writer highlights key abnormal lab values such as creatinine and glucose, allowing the doctor to quickly assess which issues need further investigation or discussion, especially for patients with comorbidities like diabetes or chronic kidney disease.

Example

For a patient with reduced kidney function (eGFR 45 mL/min), the tool might note that metformin dose should be reduced, as renal clearance is impaired. The note would also prompt the clinician to consider alternative medications.

Scenario

A patient’s labs show a drop in kidney function with an eGFR of 45. The patient is currently on a standard dose of metformin, a diabetes medication that is primarily cleared by the kidneys. Lab Reviewer & Letter Writer identifies this and advises the clinician to review dosing or consider other treatment options.
