Although the ideal, it will of necessity require a human to confirm that sample has been taken – human nature being what it is, what proportion will be “confirmed” at time of printing labels regardless of if sample collected, or not confirmed as they collector is away from computer?

Don’t want to sound cynical, but will need to make sure that system will allow for an unconfirmed request to easily be pulled into LIMS when it arrives at lab, and a process to cull the “confirmed” requests that somehow never arrive

In our system (Indigo), requests stay in LIMS “bucket” until tubes arrive at lab and scanned to “pull” request in – not perfect, but works very effectively

We are looking at implementing order comms where the message is only sent to LIMS on confirmation that the sample has been taken.

Have you tested the various workflows that could support that?

Thanks

Hopefully, this will be easier for the collective brain to answer rather than ICE copy to reports.

We are looking at implementing order comms where the message is only sent to LIMS on confirmation that the sample has been taken. I seem to remember reading an article somewhere about the number of samples received without a valid order and the rejection rate but I can’t find any information about this now. This report may have been from Leeds
