HIS FINALS: MODULE 5 (2) Flashcards
The patient record (e.g., ID Number, name, sex, age, location) must be created in the LIS before the test/s.
Register patient
The LIS usually receives these patient record automatically from the hospital registration system when a patient is admitted.
Register patient
The attending physician orders tests for the patient the procedures are requested as part of the laboratory morning blood collection rounds
Order Test
These physician orders are entered into the Customer Integrated System (CIS), and they are sent to the LIS electronically
Order test
The LIS prints a list of all patients who have to be drawn, which also includes the appropriate number of same barcode labels for each patient order
Collect Sample
Each barcode contains the patient ID, the sample contained, and the laboratory workstation, which is used to sort the tube once it reaches the laboratory.
Collect Sample
An increasingly popular approach is for caregivers or nurses to collect the blood sample.
COllect Sample
Sample bar code labels can be printed (on demand) at the nursing station and LIS printer or portable bedside printer before collection
Collect Sample
Once the sample arrives in the laboratory, the status is updated in the LIS from; ‘collected’ to ‘received’.
Receive sample
This is done by scanning each sample container’s barcode ID into the LIS. Once the status becomes ‘received’, the LIS then transmits the test order to the analyzer that will perform the required test
Receive Sample
The sample is loaded to the analyzer, and the barcode is then read
Run Sample
No worklist is needed because the analyzer knows what test to perform from the order provided by the LIS.
Run Samples
However, when tests are performed manually, the technologist prints a worklist from the LIS.
Run Sample
However, when tests are performed manually, the technologist prints a worklist from the LIS.
Run Sample
The worklist should contain the names of the patients, and the tests ordered on each and next to each test is a space to record the result.
Run samples
The analyzer then produces the results and sends the same to the LIS.
Review Results
The result is only viewable to the assigned technologists until it is released for general viewing.
Review Results
The LIS can also be programmed to flag certain results- for example, critical values- so the technologist can easily identify what needs to be repeated or further evaluated
