Patients Get Lab Results But No Understanding
Patients receive lab results via portal with no context: "Hemoglobin A1c: 7.2%" means nothing without explanation. They Google results and misinterpret findings, causing unnecessary anxiety. Physicians spend 10-15 minutes per call explaining results, and patients still leave confused. Delayed explanations postpone treatment adjustments.
