System and method for providing a server-based wireless communication of medical test requests and results
First Claim
1. A method for requesting and receiving medical patient test results using a remote data input terminal in communication with a server-based lab test message computer, the method comprising:
- receiving a test sample collected to perform the requested medical patient test with the patient identification information and the test identification information;
receiving the patient identification information and the test identification information from the remote data input terminal in order to request the medical patient tests to be performed upon the collected test sample;
transmitting a test result message containing test results for the requested medical patient test to the remote data input terminal; and
displaying the test results from the requested medical patient test on the remote data input terminal.

Abstract
A server-based lab test message processor is in digital communications with a remote data input terminal for a receiving medical patient requests and transmitting test results. The server-based lab test message processor includes a control processing module for controlling the operation of the server. The server also includes a test request message receive module for receiving medical test request messages from the remote data input terminal, the medical test request messages contain test identification information for identifying the medical patient test and patient identification information for identifying the patient, a test result message transmit module for sending medical test result messages to the remote data input terminal, the test result messages contain test identification information for identifying the medical patient test performed and patient identification information for identifying the patient, and a test result message receive module for receiving medical test result messages from a lab testing facility. The control processing module matches test request with test result messages and the test request messages using the test identification information and the patient identification information to send the test results to appropriate individuals.
