Adding Further Laboratory Tests to a Previous Request

Starting from 3 May 2004, our department will introduce a policy of documenting the addition of further laboratory tests to a previous request that has been registered in our laboratory.

This arrangement is for proper documentation of the time sequence of laboratory-test request and reporting.  For adding further laboratory tests to a previous request, please

1. Contact our Duty Biochemist to ensure that the specimen is still available and suitable for further analysis.
    
2. Fill in the Request and Authorisation Form (see Appendix) with the Requesting Doctor’s name, 331 CMS Code, and signature; then fax it to our department.

Upon receipt of the completed request form, the laboratory will register your request and perform the tests accordingly.

If there are any enquiries on this arrangement, please visit the website of Chemical Pathology at http://pwh.home, or contact our Duty Biochemist at 2632 2685 or 2632 2331, or page through the PWH Operator at 2632 2211.

Thank you for your kind attention.
