Results report / status change - date / time

1995-11-25
Definition: date/time results reported or status changed. This field is used to indicate the date and time that the results are composed into a report and released, or that a status, as defined in Order Status, is entered or changed. (This is a results field only.) When other applications (such as office or clinical database applications) query the laboratory application for untransmitted results, the information in this field may be used to control processing on the communications link. Usually, the ordering service would want only those results for which the reporting date/time is greater than the date/time the inquiring application last received results.
