[Histonet] CAP question

[Inman, Anna]

 Keep in mind: 

 The requirement states 2 patient identifiers at the time of collection
- so the identifiers need to come from the outside entities. 

My conversation with CAP - they are going for patient name, DOB, SS# or
medical record number of some sort that ties the hospital to the
clinician office. 

If the case number or med record number does not get joined until it
reaches your facility - it does not meet the CAP requirement. 

 

We are asking for patient name and DOB

Hi everyone,

 

On the most recent CAP checklist there is a requirement for 2 patient
identifiers.  For those labs who are CAP and receive all or a large
portion of their cases from outside facilities (=not from your
facility), what are you using as the identifiers on your specimen
containers?  Name and birthdate?  SS#?  Med record?  Something else?

 

Thank you in advance!
