Hi Louise,
Are you sure some of your reports aren't being transmitted to third party systems from where they are being looked up (e.g. A&E, Cancer, Renal, ICU, etc.) - if so then I would assume that this would not show up on the audit reports in your main LIMS.
Regards, Billy.

Subject: Viewing of electronic reports
Our Trust recently moved to electronic order comms requesting for in-patients and we have just been reviewing the first few months data. One notable finding is the high proportion of reports which are not viewed/accessed - over 50% of reports to one of our emergency wards, for example, are never viewed. Some areas do still receive paper reports but there is an inevitable delay before these are despatched and it is doubtful whether they are received/acted on within a clinically relevant timeframe.
For those of you who are also using order comms, I would be grateful for your feedback and whether this parallels your experience.
Kind regards
Louise Tilbrook
