What is lab work coordination?

Lab work coordination involves helping you undergo the correct tests, ensuring that the results go to the appropriate lab, and confirming you understand the meaning of your test results.

At OhanaMed Virtual Urgent Care, your provider arranges lab testing when you need it and guides you through the process from start to finish.

Can lab tests be arranged during a virtual visit?

If your symptoms or medical history suggest you need lab work, your provider can order tests directly during your appointment. They’ll send the order to a nearby lab so that you can have the testing done at a convenient site.

Your provider can send you a list of nearby labs and their hours. You then choose the one that works best for you. If you need a walk-in option or same-day testing, they’ll help you find it.

What kinds of lab tests might I need?

Standard lab tests include blood work, urine tests, throat swabs, and stool sample analysis. These procedures can:

• Measure hormone levels
• Check for and identify infections
• Assess organ function
• Monitor chronic conditions
• Measure cholesterol and blood sugar levels

The team at OhanaMed Virtual Urgent Care uses lab work to investigate the causes of symptoms like fatigue, fever, and gastrointestinal (GI) problems.

How do I get my lab test results?

When the lab completes your testing, they send the results to OhanaMed Virtual Urgent Care. Your provider reviews them and contacts you to explain their meaning.

If you need treatment, further testing, or a referral, your provider will make a plan with you right away. Should your results reveal something that requires immediate attention, they’ll contact you promptly with clear instructions on what to do next. That could mean starting medication, seeing a specialist, or going to the emergency room.

Are lab results shared with other healthcare providers?

If you have a primary care provider or specialist, OhanaMed Virtual Urgent Care can send your results and visit notes to them so your ongoing care team is informed.

OhanaMed Virtual Urgent Care makes lab testing easier by:

• Ordering the proper tests
• Guiding you to the right office
• Explaining results in plain language
• Helping you take the next steps for your health

This ensures that you won’t be wondering what your results mean or worrying about what to do next.
