Which actions are required to see lab results from older admissions?

The ability to view lab results from older admissions is made possible by using the chart search function with specific criteria. This functionality allows users to input parameters such as patient demographics, admission dates, and specific lab tests to effectively filter and find historical records. By utilizing this tool, healthcare professionals can efficiently navigate the system, ensuring that even results from previous admissions can be accessed without unnecessary delays.

The other options do not provide a legitimate pathway to access older lab results. Requesting access to previous admission records could be cumbersome and may not guarantee immediate access to the necessary information. Consulting only the attending physician is limited to their memory or notes, which may not be complete or available. Furthermore, stating that older results are not accessible through the system is inaccurate, as the chart search function specifically allows for retrieval of this information when used correctly.
