If WE have referred the work we enter the results in the system and treat them as if they were our results [i.e. the post office is an analyser - it just happens that another lab did the work].
If it is data from another lab that we would have analysed ourselves but the patient went to another hospital to have the sample collected [it does happen], we tend not to enter the results as reference ranges clash.

There is a long running discussion here regarding reports on work we have referred elsewhere. At present we manually enter the results in our system along with any comments, and store the original report. (Complex assays such as lymphocyte subsets we send a copy of the report to the requesting clinician).
One clinician in particular is anxious that as well as doing this, we should send out copies of all reports of referred work, to all clinicians.
I would be interested to hear what other centres are currently doing.
Thanks in advance
