External Results - LumiraDx Platform and HL7 Laboratory Test Results
INRstar can now accept INR test results from our patients who are self testers, via HL7 hospital laboratories and now the LumiraDx platform.
The test results come directly into INRstar which, when successfully matched to a patient record, will allow you to dose a patient without the need to manually enter the INR yourself.
To view and manage your test results click 'Patient' tab > 'Results' tab > 'INR' tab
Clicking the ‘Dose Patient’ button takes you to the 'New INR' page to complete the treatment.
