Connect specimen progress and medication evidence to the correct encounter.
Licensed Clinician checks the patient visit before recording specialty work. Confirm which specimen is being requested or which medication is being supplied. Resolve an uncertain encounter link while the patient context is available, before another person receives the handoff.
Licensed Clinician records the specimen type and accession number. Move Ordered to Collected when collection occurs and record its time. Keep the label reference available for the receiving laboratory and the person checking progress at the center.
Licensed Clinician records Received and Tested when those events are confirmed through the agreed laboratory process. Use Rejected for a rejected specimen. Review the laboratory's actual results in its designated system; the clinical reviewer determines the relevant care follow-up.
Licensed Clinician checks the medication, lot, quantity and unit and records the authorizing clinician. Review the applicable prescribing privilege under the center's policy before the handoff. Keep the dispensation attached to the intended encounter so another clinician can review what was supplied.
