ABSTRACT:
A network-based system and method for ordering and cumulative results reporting of medical tests includes a computer operated at a physician location (such as a hospital or physician office) to order tests, retrieve and store statistical data or status the progress of previously ordered tests, and at least one labsite computer for receiving physician requests for tests and reporting their results. The physician computer and labsite computer are interconnected by a computer network. The physician computer receives a physician or user request for ordering a test, causes a test request message to be sent to the labsite computer, causes a request for statistical data to be sent to the network, and receives statistical data from the network. The labsite computer is programmed to receive a test request message and to cause a test results message or a test status message to be sent to the physician computer.
