Lab Collection Process

Specified laboratory tests are tallied for every patient for their entire LOS (length of stay)in a unit. (E.G. total number of CBC diff done during LOS in unit).
manual tallying of lab tests is done only in the ICU's in the city.
HSC ICU manually collects some lab tests that are not downloaded from the Hospital Delphic system.
lab tests are downloaded from the Hospital computer system only at HSC for ICU and medicine.
HSC has a program that interfaces with the Delphic system that allows us to access this data. For more information see Data_Processing.
for a list of which tests are tallied see S_labs.
