Lab Improvement #4: Thalassemia screening New Forms

We were instructed to use new form for Hb Analysis and DNA Analysis (can be assessed through the Net). I added some improvements to increase our lab quality. All doctors were informed of usage of the new forms.

All Hb Analysis and DNA analysis requests must be recorded in the Thalassemia Screening Record Book. Telephone number of the patient, and his/her next doctor visit date as well as the name of requesting doctor must be recorded. When results reached us, date of receiving  must be recorded. Requesting doctor must be informed and JTMP must ask doctor whether he/she wants us to inform the patient or their nurses to do so. Original results are passed to doctor while one copy of the results is kept in the Thalassemia screening file.
