Results Verification/Standing Orders/Protocols

Hello All,

I am writing this in an effort to find out if/what other facilities are doing to ensure that all tests/labs/procedures etc. results are communicated to the patient and documented in the record. I currently work as an internal consultant and am charged with making results verification work. It has been a difficult and time consuming process.

Does anyone have a documented results verification process?

Do you have standing orders/protocols that support such a process?

Thanks for the insight.
