Here is what
we do. I created an OE print
format that will print on a thermal label printer. This is attached (easy to script in) to all procedures in
the OE procedure dictionary that the lab wants notice of a cancellation on. The format has a print rule, which is
simply:
IF{[f ord can
sts] [f do print];
[f do not print]};
So this label
prints immediately when the status of the OE order is cancelled. It works out better in the work flow to
have this print to the label printer that the phlebs monitor, rather than
having a sheet of paper print at some distant laser printer that they don’t
usually check.

Carla,
You might want to reply to this one that we submitted a MIX request that we
would like to have a cancellation label print out as opposed to the piece of
paper.

The cancellation request prints in Lab, but usually the patient has already
been stuck before the notification filters down to the
phlebotomist.
Positive patient identification and the cessation of unnecessary sticks are
the two major reasons why we will be getting phlebotomy handhelds this year.
We have decided on Care Fusion CareCollect.
Good luck, Brenda

How do other labs handle test orders that are cancelled from OE but the
specimen's are already in a collection batch and labels printed? How
is
phlebotomy notified of the cancellation before they try and collect the
specimens? We are having issues with unnecessary
draws. TIA.
