All laboratory testing requires the creation and completion of an Order Request Form.
The submitting clinic or ward unit is responsible for creating an Order Request for the in-patient or
out-patient. The requisition must be accurate, complete, legible and contain proper information in order to process the specimen.
All of the following should be present in the requisition form:
-
Patient’s surname.
-
Patient’s Medical Record Number.
-
Patient’s gender and date of birth.
-
Name of the submitting clinic (out-patients).
-
Requesting physician’s complete name and contact number.
-
Date and time of ordering.
-
Details of the requested tests.
-
Type of sample.
-
Patient’s pedigree (Recommended).
The requisition for each specimen must be accompanied with clinical information:
-
Specimen type and origin.
-
Clinical history.
-
Preliminary diagnosis.
Electronic Requisition (Highly Preferred):
Clicking on Specific User-Portal will lead to the Order Screen to submit test
requests.
The user-friendly portal will allow the physician to order all required tests quickly and easily using convenient check boxes. The physician can provide the working diagnosis, medications and can also request specific information that may be
required while laboratory technical procedure is performed.
Manual Requisition (Only as a stand-by):
The Manual Request will be accepted only in rare situations where the ‘Electronic Requisition’ system fails or becomes ‘out of order’. In such scenario, a ‘Hard Copy Request’ is acceptable.
Upon physician referral, patients who visit the GenaTi from other hospitals are advised to contact the GenaTi staff, in the sample receiving area to create tests orders.
