We have a website at our hospital that is accessible to all physicians and nursing staff for collection of all specimens. We call the website LabSource.

> We have the basic specimen requirements (taken from our procedure manuals) from each of the Lab areas, and place them in a binder for each of the Nursing units. So whether it is a fluid or a tissue specimen, or if it requires special handling or collection, it is in this manual. If something arrives collected improperly, the unit manager is notified and a specimen incident report is generated.
