Responsible inpatient and ambulatory physicians assigned to usual care will not receive any email(s) of patients' test results generated from the notification system.
Responsible inpatient and ambulatory physicians will receive automated email(s) of patients' tests results finalized post-discharge generated from the notification system. Finalized results will be batched such that no provider will receive more than one email per day.
BWH inpatient clinical information systems will automatically file all non-finalized chemistry, hematology, pathology, and radiology tests, as well as inpatient and ambulatory provider email addresses for all study patients discharged. This process will be initiated using a time stamp most proximate to actual discharge time. At midnight on every day, all tests filed at time of discharge will be updated if final results have become available. An email with all finalized and pending test results for each patient discharged will be sent to the inpatient and primary care provider at this time. For patients discharged with more than one pending test, subsequent email notification(s) will be sent out until all pending tests are finalized (no more than one email per day).
