-----Original Message----- From: Teri Ellison Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2006 7:32 AM To: Carl Smith Subject: LAB REPORTS Carl, could you forward this to the Meditech-L please. I am interested in how other sites are issuing routine lab reports to facilities (Dr Offices, nursing homes etc) outside the hospital. We are using Netfax for our faxing solutions and I have only a few outside sites set up for Telecom faxing of reports. Do most hospitals telecom to the staff physician's offices daily or maybe several times a day? In the past our fax system was not reliable and often got "hung" and shutting down ALL faxing until it was noticed and corrected. Since that is not the case now, I would like to streamline my reporting and cut down on the manual paperwork. Currently on a daily basis I have a telecom report print to the Lab printer for all outpatient labs performed. Lab employees sort by physician and distribute to the Dr boxes to be picked up by office personnel. I also have a similar job print directly to HIMS to be filed in the patient medical record. I would like to make better use of the systems I have at my disposal. I would appreciate any guidance you might be willing to share about your setup.
