1. A method comprising:
- receiving a first diagnostic test result value associated with a diagnostic test performed on a patient for a health related issue at a first time period, the corresponding diagnostic test having a plurality of risk levels, wherein each risk level has an assigned preestablished range of diagnostic test result value boundaries;
assigning the first diagnostic test result value to a first risk level based on the first diagnostic test result value falling within a first range of preestablished test result values associated with the first risk level for the diagnostic test;
receiving a second diagnostic test result value for the diagnostic test performed on the patient at a second time period, the second time period subsequent to the first time period over a first time duration;
assigning the second diagnostic test result value to a second risk level based on the second diagnostic test result value falling within a second range of preestablished test result values associated with the second risk level for the diagnostic test; and
generating, using one or more processors, a reporting graph configured to illustrate one or more changes in the patient'"'"'s diagnostic test result values for the health related issue tested by the diagnostic test over the first time period, the step of generating further comprising;
generating a first graphical point associated with the first test result value and a second graphical point associated with the second test result value in the reporting graph, wherein the first and second graphical points are plotted in the reporting graph based on their respective time periods and corresponding diagnostic test result values; and
generating a graphical connector in the reporting graph, wherein the graphical connector connects the first graphical point and the second graphical point over the first time duration on the report graph.

Abstract
An application module configured to provide a historical graph report which plots a patient'"'"'s diagnostic test result values over time, in which the historical graph is included in a customizable laboratory report. The historical graph is configured to show a patient or physician of any identifiable changes or trends that the patient has experienced with regard to his/her diagnostic test result values for one or more identified biomarkers. The application module may utilize unique graphical objects within the graph itself or with respect to individual cells in the chart to indicate the particular risk level that a corresponding test result value may be assigned to.

14. A method of graphically displaying the changes in a patient'"'"'s diagnostic test results and corresponding risk levels over a period of time, the method comprising:
-
selecting, using one or more processors, a first diagnostic test result value for a patient, the first diagnostic test result value associated with a corresponding diagnostic test performed on the patient for a health related issue at a first time period; determining, using the one or more processors, a risk level associated with the first diagnostic test result value, wherein the first diagnostic test result value is assigned to a corresponding risk level based on the value of the first diagnostic test result; selecting, using the one or more processors, a second diagnostic test result value for the diagnostic test performed on the patient at a second time period; determining, using the one or more processors, a risk level associated with the second diagnostic test result value, wherein the second diagnostic test result value is assigned to a corresponding risk level based on the value of the second diagnostic test result; generating, using the one or more processors, a laboratory results report for the patient, the laboratory results report including a chart configured to include plurality of cells arranged in intersecting columns and rows, wherein at least the first and second diagnostic test result values are placed in corresponding cells of the chart and organized by their respective time periods and the corresponding health related issue tested for by the diagnostic test; and generating, using the one or more processors, a reporting graph to be included in the chart, the reporting graph including a first graphical point associated with the first diagnostic test result value and a second graphical point associated with the second diagnostic test result value, wherein the first and second graphical points are plotted along a common time line and positioned relative to one another based on their corresponding values and time periods, the reporting graph including a graphical connector connecting the first graphical point and the second graphical point between the first and second time periods, wherein the reporting graph indicates whether the patient'"'"'s health related issue has changed over diagnostic test results and risk level between the first and second time periods. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)

24. The method of claim 1414, wherein the first diagnostic test result value is placed in a first cell of the chart and the second diagnostic test result value is placed in a second cell of the chart, the method further comprising:
-
applying a first indicator object to the first cell, wherein the first indicator object is of a first color correlated with the first risk level; and applying a second indicator object to the second cell, wherein the second indicator object is of a second color correlated with the second risk level. - View Dependent Claims (25)

26. A method comprising:
-
selecting, using one or more processors, a first diagnostic test result value for a patient, the first diagnostic test result value associated with a corresponding diagnostic test performed on the patient for a health related issue at a first time period; determining, using the one or more processors, a risk level associated with the first diagnostic test result value, wherein the first diagnostic test result value is assigned to a corresponding risk level based on the value of the first diagnostic test result; selecting, using the one or more processors, a second diagnostic test result value for the diagnostic test performed on the patient at a second time period; determining, using the one or more processors, a risk level associated with the second diagnostic test result value, wherein the second diagnostic test result value is assigned to a corresponding risk level based on the value of the second diagnostic test result; generating, using the one or more processors, a laboratory results report for the patient, the laboratory results report including a chart configured to include plurality of cells arranged in intersecting columns and rows, wherein at least the first and second diagnostic test result values are placed in corresponding cells of the chart and organized by their respective time periods and the corresponding health related issue tested for by the diagnostic test; displaying the first diagnostic test result value in a first cell of the chart; and applying a first indicator object to the first cell, wherein the first indicator object is of a first color correlated with the first risk level.
