In this issue:
- We introduce our new online booking system for specialist tests, designed to make scheduling more efficient and convenient for your patients.
- Provide important information on the process and criteria for home visit eligibility to ensure that the service is able to cater to those patients with the greatest clinical need. Be sure to check the eligibility criteria and ensure adequate information is supplied to allow us to efficiently process your request.
- Diagnostic stewardship of asymptomatic bacteriuria which highlights best practices and how we can all contribute to improving patient care through effective use of diagnostic tests.
- Haemoglobinopathy testing and vetting in Awanui Auckland. We will shortly be changing our eOrder form and adding a new paper form so that we are able to capture information relevant to the interpretation of the thalassaemia screen and also to allow us to provide the most appropriate advice on further follow up testing.
- Which swab for which test – updated.
As always, we appreciate your continued support and dedication to improving patient outcomes. Happy reading!
