Flow Chart 2

The document outlines the process for laboratory testing from sample receipt through result reporting. Key steps include: 1) Evaluating the requested tests and ensuring proper patient preparation; 2) Collecting and reviewing the sample to verify it is properly labeled and suitable for testing; 3) Processing the sample in the appropriate lab section while checking for issues that could require retesting; 4) Documenting results, validating them, and releasing to providers and patients. The goal is to accurately perform the requested tests and provide reliable results.

PRE-ANALYTICAL

 Laboratory receives the request form.


 The Medical Technologist evaluates the tests requested.
 Patient Assessment
- Proper patient Identification
- Proper patient preparation (Fasting, abstinence, medicine intake, etc.)
 If the patient has done the necessary preparations required, they will be then asked to settle the bill to the cashier
 Proceed to the sample collection.
 The Medical Technologist collects the sample and checks if the sample has been properly collected.
- Properly collected sample includes:
collected in the proper container (proper anticoagulant tube, specimen container, etc.)
sample volume is sufficient enough to be tested
sample was brought to the lab before it has expired
sample has no clots or hemolysis
It contains proper labeling sample has been properly transported if needed
 If the sample has been and evaluated and deemed acceptable it is then brought to the proper section with the request form to be processed.

ANALYTICAL
 Sample is received in their respective sections in the lab in accordance to the requisition form.
 Check if the received sample and the forwarded request form are in line with each other (patient name, age, date and time of collection)
 Check sample if there are means of sample rejection
 The respective sample with the patient’s name is then processed by the machine.
 If Panic Values are indicated:
- Check if the patient had previous results.
 If the previous results are similar to the panic value indicated, it could be released to the medical technologist's own discretion.
 If the previous results are: not similar to the panic values, the values are far apart from each other, or there are no previous results:
o Rerun in a different machine.
o Process manually.
o Perform dilution.
If the results are inconsistent and the processor is doubtful, sample recollection could be done
If the results are the same, it could be released to the medical technologist's own discretion
- Recheck sample if sample has grounds of sample rejection (clots, hemolysis, etc.):
 Recollect sample.
 Double check results before proceeding to release.

POST ANALYTICAL
 Individual worksheets are done per sample which are stapled to the request forms. Writing must be legible and avoid erasures.
 Results are logged in the different laboratory logbooks for documentation. Writing must be legible and avoid erasures.
 Results are carefully and manually typed in the LIS to prevent switching results and or values, constant rechecking should be done while
typing.
 Results are printed and released through the Hospital Information System.
 Printouts are validated(signed) and double checked by the QC officer and the processor of the respective section.
 Releasing of the results to the patients
