An external laboratory request is cancelled after it was sent
Record the authorised cancellation, the laboratory reply and the remaining follow-up against the original request. A sent message does not stop the work.
Topic
External laboratory work
Keep the administrative trail between a request, the laboratory and the clinician reviewing the report, including partial results and a cancelled request.
When only part of an external laboratory report arrives
Record a partial report, keep the outstanding request open and hand the available document to the responsible clinician. Reception does not interpret it.
