REPORT
GENERATION AND DISTRIBUITION
Haematology results are printed, in a cumulative format, from a
central point in the laboratory where they are validated before
being issued to wards, clinics and GP surgeries. On the CMMC site,
once authorized the result can be accessed electronically via Clinical
Workstation (this excludes Blood Transfusion reports).
In-patient reports are distributed at 10.00 am
to 2.00 pm (all wards and departments) and 4.00 pm (wards).
Out-patient reports are generated throughout the
day.
Reports are despatched each day to GPs via the Courier Service.
Reports from the Transfusion
Lab are delivered the following day by portering staff.
