Dear collective,
We are reviewing the way we handle add-on requests now we are paper-light and don't get request forms from our OCM system. I would be hugely grateful if you could take a few minutes to answer the following questions:
1. Are you a lab in a teaching hospital or in a DGH?
2. Do you use electronic ordering/requesting/reporting?
3. Who is the supplier of your LIMS system?
4. Do you permit telephone requests to add on tests? If 'no' then please go to Q7
5. If 'yes' to Q4, are there any specific restrictions eg time limits for certain analytes etc (if 'yes', please describe)
6. If 'yes' to Q4, what audit trail and governance arrangements do you have in place
7. If 'no' to Q4, have you had any clinical problems, incidents or issues arising from this stance?
8. If you handle a significant number (>100 samp[les/d) of paediatric samples, does the same rule regarding add-ons apply to paediatric specimens?
9. Anything else you'd like to add?
Please reply directly to me, and I will collate and publish responses.
Thanks in anticipation,
Chris
