2. Preassignment, No Collation
• Assign Retic Only, CBC Only or
CBC/Diff Only test profile;
results kept separate.
• Retic reports RET% only (RBC
count can be added to the
report for auto-calculation of
RET#).
a. Access Worklist Add.
b. Enter profile # for Retic, CBC or
CBC/Diff.
c. Analyze samples as in
Scenario 1.
1. Printable Worklist
helps organize
batches of tests.
2. Provides additional
safety measure for
proper sample ID.
3. Preassign CBC/Diff and Retic before both tests performed
• CBC/Diff + Retic ordered as a
single test Profile, both results
appear on single report.
• Reports RET% and RET#.
a. Access Worklist Add.
b. Select CBC Diff/Retic profile #.
c. Assign patient ID for each test;
add demographics as desired.
for next sample.
d. Analyze samples as in
Scenario 1.
Useful if lab is currently
preassigning (manually or
by host) and collation at
DMS is desired.
4-A. Assign Retic to CBC/Diff existing in Data Base
• Retics test request is added to
existing CBC/Diff data. Retic
sample is run, and a new single
report is generated with both
CBC/Diff and Retics results.
• Retics are reported as RET%
and RET#.
a. Run CBC/Diff.
b. Select sample from DataBase
(DB).
c. Access Edit demog./Profile
screen
.
• Request CBC Diff/Retic
profile #
• Assign patient Retic ID
number.
• Test request appears on
Retic Worklist.
d. Analyze Retic samples as in
Scenario 1.
1. Collation benefits.
2. Demographics on lab
report.
3. Maintains walkaway
CBC/Diff workflow.
