Target Population

Patients who have abnormal laboratory test results related to endocrinological conditions. Individuals with high Hemoglobin A1c (A1c) levels, abnormal Thyroid Stimulating Hormone (TSH) levels, or elevated 24-hour urine cortisol levels.

Recommendations

If a patient's A1c is greater than 9, or if their TSH or 24-hour urine cortisol levels are abnormal, they should be referred to their primary care provider (PCP) or a specialist, such as an endocrinologist.

Importance

Ensuring that patients with significant endocrine abnormalities receive timely and appropriate follow-up care. By systematically identifying and referring patients with abnormal lab results.

Conclusion

Automates the process of managing abnormal lab results related to endocrine disorders. It evaluates test results, determines if referrals are necessary, and updates the clinician’s workflow accordingly.
