Standard 9: Specimen collection – Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027)

Australia National Pathology Standards (First Edition 2027) 9.08: High acuity settings and critical requests: ensure high acuity settings know who collects and transports specimens, use evidence-based approaches so testing occurs within the clinically optimal timeframe, identify, track and monitor high acuity and critical request samples through the laboratory, give high acuity requesters access to turnaround times and the critical result process, and let requesters flag a suspected or confirmed critical request so testing and reporting are expedited

What does 9.08 require?

Emergency departments, intensive care, theatres and similar high acuity areas know who collects and who transports their specimens; collection and transport from those areas follow evidence-based methods so testing happens within the clinically optimal window; urgent and critical-request samples are identified, tracked and monitored through the laboratory; clinicians in those areas can see turnaround times and know how critical results are notified; and a requester can tell the laboratory that a result may be critical, or confirm a critical request, so the specimen is fast-tracked and the result reported promptly.

What else in your programme already covers this

This control maps to 1 controls across 1 other frameworks. If you already hold one of them, the evidence you collected for it is the starting point here rather than new work.

Every mapping shown was judged rather than inferred from wording similarity, and the ones that failed review are published too. See the coverage reports and what was rejected.
