I work in an outpatient Urgent Care Center. We see a fair amount of STD visits. Our office does not have a policy regarding how patients should be notified of results (positive or negative results).

jdumoch

in my clinic we tell patients in advance: we do not call with negative results, they are welcome to call us. we always call for positives. if an HIV is checked, they must return to the clinic for results.

TTURedRaider

I work in urgent care as well. We have a policy that we don't give results over the phone, positive or negative. Patient must physically return to the clinic for results and has the option whether or not to just pick up the results themselves or check-in and go over the results with a provider.

dmdpac

We're pretty much the same. We won't call if the results are negative. Anything positive will generate a phone call.

True Anomaly

We're a little unique in that, since I work in Philadelphia, the city health department is actually the one who does all GC/Chlamydia testing. They only call if test results are + (because as you can imagine, the volume of STD testing in Philly is pretty high).

SocialMedicine

I make it a policy to send an email or phone call advising neg TR for all STI screening. We have an electronic record which makes emails easy ... but has also in the last few years resulted in a few labs not being transmitted into the electronic record. I am terrified of missing a TR.

Acebecker

Pretty much the same as everyone else - I personally call if pos. Sometimes will have nurse notify if neg in order to touch base and ensure Sx resolution and make sure the Pt has f/u plan.
