Hello list members,
We currently have a rule in our LIS which blocks repeat
requests for 25-hydoxy vitamin D within 3 months.
Prof. Fraser presented some data at FOCUS suggesting that it
takes up to 6 months for
circulating levels to reach a new steady once a patient has
been started on oral supplements.
Is it reasonable to block repeat requests within 6 months?
What are you all doing out there to cope with the surge in
requests and have you got any published
evidence to support your approach?
Wayne Bradbury.
