Specimen processing information

The Hatfield Lab is the primary receiving and billing area for clinical labs. In addition, many research studies are received, ordered and processed through this site. Lab specimen processing functions ensure that the specimen integrity is maintained by: checking to be sure the order is correct, the specimen is in the proper container, and the label is visible. The testing is then ordered, information on source is entered into the record, and all forms documented and signatures checked as necessary. A new automated processing line allows some samples to be loaded directly into testing equipment. Other samples are prepared by staff for transport to the testing labs on site, other campus locations, or for shipping to many reference labs across the United States.

Client Services staff answers the lab information line, handles questions from providers, assists with obtaining results and helps problem solve issues dealing with specimen processing and billing and resulting.
