By logging in to Helsenorge, you can see test and examination results from the
new Test Results service. The service is currently being tested. You can also see
more test results from hospitals in the Western Norway Regional Health Authority.
Testing the Test Results service
In 2025, a limited number of laboratories and radiology units will test the new Test Results service. You will be able to see your test results on Helsenorge if your test or examination was conducted by an enterprise that is participating in the pilot programme.
It generally takes some time from the time of the test or examination until the test results become available. The length of time this takes will depend on the type of test or examination and the results. Remember that you will be contacted if there is a need to discuss the test results.
Test results from hospitals in Helse Vest (Western Norway Regional Health Authority)
You do not need to take any further action when viewing your test results.Your healthcare professional, or the physician who ordered the test, will contact you if your results need to be discussed.The laboratory or radiology department cannot send or discuss test results with you.
You should not make any changes to your medication or other treatments without discussing this with your doctor.
There may be a number of reasons why a test result is not shown:
Only tests that have been requested by the hospital will be shown. This means that you will not find any tests requested by your GP, homecare services or other doctors’ offices. This also applies if the test was done at the hospital, but requested by an external healthcare professional.
Test results entered into your patient record before 1 October 2021 will not be available on Helsenorge. You may still find certain older test results which were previously available in your patient record on Helsenorge.
For some tests, it may take some time before the results are ready and can be displayed at Helsenorge.
The date of the test result is the date the test was registered in your patient record – not the date on which the test was taken.
Laboratory testing is a diagnostic tool used by medical professionals. The language used must therefore be precise in order to avoid any misunderstandings. This means that there will be come technical terms and phrases that may be difficult for people to understand.
You will find results of from pathology, histology and cytology tests, as well as diagnostic imaging results. You will see a description of the images, but not the images themselves. You will also find certain other written descriptions of test results.
Covid test results
Your coronavirus test results are no longer available in the test results service. If you have questions about a coronavirus test you have taken, please contact your doctor.
