The Test Results section shows your current lab results for most tests taken at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. If you're not seeing all of your child's test results in MyChart, click the pink "Include Hospital Results" button located next to the Search box.

PLEASE NOTE: Most test results are available in MyChart as soon as they are available to your care provider. There is a chance that you may see test results before your provider has time to review the results with you. Some test results will be delayed to give your provider a chance to review them and contact you. Pathology results, genetic testing, and certain indicators of disease activity will be available to view in MyChart 7 days after completion. (View a list of all tests and procedures that are delayed by 7 days.) Some radiology results (CTs, MRIs and PET scans), EKGs, and Echocardiograms will display on the morning of the second calendar day after completion, or as soon as your provider reviews them.
