Note: To complete the result algorithm task, you must have the
user can approve results permission.
The result algorithm task is used to review and assign a final result to a
workflow. After all specimen testing work has been completed for a workflow, the
workflow will be assigned to the result algorithm task. This is where you will
review the results for specimens tested and select the final result for the
workflow.
Open the result algorithm task.
Select the workflow for which you want to complete the result algorithm
task .
Note: If you do not see the workflow available, go to the view all
workflows task and ensure that all other necessary tasks have
been completed.
Click the Do task button.
The Algorithm Summary window () will open.
Figure: The Algorithm Summary window. (1) view tasks that were completed for the workflow, (2) view and create discretionary
tests and redraw tasks, (3) final result for the workflow, (4) approve
workflow final result, (5) review the results for the selected test, (6)
date infection was diagnosed for positive results only, (7) summary
comments as will appear on unblinded reports, (8) tested completed for
the workflow, (9) general comments that appear on HIV status report,
(10) internal-only comments that are not exported or shown on reports,
(11) blinded report comments that show only on the blinded report, (12)

Review all of the test results.
Select a test on the Results tab.
Click the Review test result button.
Click the Close button when you are finished

Select a final result for the workflow from the Final
result list.
The Proposed result field provides a suggested
Final result that was determined by HAWS.
If the Final result is Infected,
specify a Diagnosis date
This is only required if there are infected specimens from multiple dates. If the infected
specimen is from one date, HAWS will automatically select it for you. For
protocols that require adjudication, you will not be able to complete the
Diagnosis date until the Adjudication
Report is generated. This is done by clicking the
Report to Adjudicator button that will appear next to
the Diagnosis date.
For algorithms that have an unblinded result, select the Unblinded
result [summary text].
The following algorithms have an unblinded result:
Evaluation of Sero-Reactivity
Evaluation of Sero-Reactivity Recent Exposure
Post-Study
Post-Study Testing Service
Confirmation Testing Service
Follow-Up Testing Service
HAWS will automatically select text for you. You can select
a different summary text template by clicking the Select

Enter comments into the following Comment text
boxes:
General comments: the text you enter here will appear on the HIV status
final report

reports
Blinded report comments: The text you enter here will show only on the blinded report
Unblinded report comments: the text you enter here will show only on the unblinded
report
Note: If you change the Final result for a workflow for
which a final workflow report has already been printed, you must enter a
comment to explain why the result was changed.
