The laboratory must have an adequate manual or electronic system that ensures results and other patient-specific data are accurately and reliably sent from the point of data entry (interfaced or manual) to the final report destination in a timely manner, covering calculated results, results sent to network or interfaced systems, and results transcribed or transmitted from referral, satellite or point of care locations. Report information kept in the patient chart must be readily available to the laboratory and to CMS. Each report must show the patient's name and identification number or a unique identifier and number, the name and address of the laboratory location that performed the test, the report date, the test performed, the specimen source where appropriate, the result with units or interpretation, and any information about the condition and disposition of specimens that failed acceptability criteria. Reference intervals determined by the laboratory must be available to the ordering person and the user of the results; on request the laboratory must provide its list of test methods, established or verified performance specifications and information affecting interpretation such as interferences, and must give clients pertinent updates whenever changes affect results or their interpretation. Results may be released only to authorized persons, the persons responsible for using them and the laboratory that requested the test, except that the laboratory may give patients and their personal representatives access to their completed reports on request using its authentication process. The laboratory must immediately alert the requester and, where applicable, the user of the results to any result indicating an imminently life-threatening condition or a panic or alert value, and must decide, based on urgency, whether to notify when it cannot report within its established time frames. A referring laboratory must not revise the testing laboratory's results or interpretive information, may let the testing laboratory report directly while retaining an exact duplicate, and must tell the ordering person the name and address of each performing laboratory. All reports or their information must be kept so they can be identified and accessed promptly. When reporting errors are detected the laboratory must promptly notify the ordering person and user, issue corrected reports promptly, and keep duplicates of the original and corrected reports.
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.
The graph holds this control, the 1 it maps to, and the evidence behind each claim, over MCP and REST.
