REQUIRED ONLINE TRAINING

• Epic Lab Specimen Collection & Barcode Scanning for Clinical Staff (LMS course #1582031)

SPECIMEN SCANNING

• New specimen collection technology helps reduce the risk of specimen labeling errors, improving patient safety.

• Increased accuracy throughout the process helps reduce lab processing turnaround times, enabling providers to make patient care decisions sooner than previously possible.

HOW THIS NEW TECHNOLOGY WORKS

• Lets you scan the patient wristband and a printer, at the point of care during specimen collection.

• This ensure the right label prints for the right patient.

HOW IT IMPROVES PATIENT SAFETY

• Ensures capture of the right order, right patient, right label and right specimen – at the patient bedside.

• Reduces the risk of errors and eliminates the need for the lab to re-label specimens when labels don’t print as expected.
