We had planned to use some requesting rules with the 'new' WinPath system, but I had been worried out rejecting requests where the previous result was e.g. 'insufficient'.  Sending the rejects to a queue would seem to get round this.  Do you have to spend much time checking this queue?

Subject: Re: Duplicate requesting

Our system (Sysmed=Woodard) permits the trapping of repeat requests within a given time.
 
We routinely trap repeat TSH and Cholesterol within 1 month and a number of other tests at other time intervals e.g.LFTs within 3 days.
 
Trapped requests are queued for inspection and let through if necessary.
 
Unfortunately the methods one can use tend to be LIS specific, but I'm happy to expand on this if required.

Subject: Duplicate requesting

Is anyone else using their LIS to limit duplicate requesting? We have recently started to trial this and would like to expand its use.
I'd be very keen to learn of any potential pitfalls or benefits of using IT in this way.
We are begining by having the duplicate requests diverted to an authorisation queue for vetting. Is this how others have tackled it?
 
All the best
