As previously posted, more lab test results were made available last February in My Personal Records (MPR), found in MyHealth Records (MHR), the single access point for Albertans’ personal health information. These lab results are viewable through the MPR application. Making more results available online provides Albertans with more access to their health information and acts as an additional safety net for patient care within the system.
Through a series of rollouts, additional results are being added to MPR through to September. To date, the following results are now viewable as soon as they are released by the lab:
- About 95% of the most commonly ordered (by volume) lab test results were viewable as of February 1.
- More complex results in pathology and other areas are being included in MPR on August 23.
Providers may notice some changes in their patterns of work, and may wish to consider giving patients more information about the implications of different results at the time of ordering a test. Physicians and other providers will continue to have access to results through their usual delivery channels.
For more information about the August 23 rollout, AHS will be hosting a 1-hour information webinar on Zoom:
