With the new features in LSM you can password protect your test result reports. This helps in compliance with regulatory bodies and prevents data breaching of important information. CLIA (Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments) & HIPAA (Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act) states that the test reports are required released only to authorized persons and not to someone else. This can be maintained with the help of password protection, which is now a feature that you can use to password protect your results.
