Automated Nephrology Lab Results Routing
Every hour, WebRun opens Acumen and checks for new lab results for nephrology patients. It compares each result against nephrology-specific reference ranges, flags values outside range as critical or borderline, routes an alert to the responsible provider's Slack channel, and logs every result reviewed to a Google Sheets results ledger.
How do I automatically route critical nephrology lab results to the right provider?
Every hour, WebRun opens Acumen and checks for new nephrology lab results. It reads each value against nephrology-specific reference ranges, flags critical and borderline results, routes an immediate Slack alert to the responsible provider, and logs every result in a Google Sheets ledger, so no critical lab value waits until the next scheduled visit.
- Critical lab values reach the responsible provider within the hour, not the next clinic day
- Every result reviewed is logged in a Google Sheets ledger for compliance and audit
- Providers acknowledge alerts in Slack, creating a documented review trail
Built for nephrology providers · CKD clinic clinical teams · dialysis care coordinators · nephrology medical directors

Questions, answered
Does WebRun contact the patient about their lab results?
No. WebRun routes results alerts only to the responsible provider and the clinical team via Slack. All communication with patients about lab results is handled by the clinical team through Acumen's patient communication tools.
How does it determine nephrology-specific reference ranges?
It reads the reference ranges stored in Acumen for each test. You can configure additional nephrology-specific thresholds, such as eGFR tiers or potassium alert levels, in the workflow settings during setup.
What happens if a result is already acknowledged in Acumen before WebRun checks?
WebRun checks the acknowledgment status in Acumen before posting a Slack alert. Results already marked as reviewed are logged in the ledger but no duplicate Slack alert is sent.
