Inquiry re policies of how to manage source testing, warehousing, release of results.  Couldn’t find anything in the OEM-L archive;  there are state-to-state variations in regulations on how to handle.

 Cross-Posted with OEM-L.

 

I’m confident that this has been already worked out by others….appreciate insight from the list:

 

1.       Are the source’s name and other identifiers redacted from the requisition and results?

2.       If the source name is associated with the order and result, are the orders included in the medical record or stored elsewhere?

3.       How are the results of the tests shared with the source?
