bevydawn1 Posted August 13, 2019 Share Posted August 13, 2019 Just out of curiosity for a co-worker debate, does your facility's policies and procedures require a new specimen at exactly 72 hours after the specimen was collected or at midnight on the 3rd day?

carolyn swickard Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 mostly 72 hours, but if we can get some history - will extend until midnight of 3rd day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is always within an hour so it is rarely a problem, but I wish they would allow days instead of hours! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lol What version of Meditech are you on? I did this with a rule in v5.x and also in Expanse 6.x. I found it on the KB section of their website. I don't see it anymore, but I can email you my rule if you are interested. I also found KB article 43874 that addresses extending specimen expiration date to 72 hours after surgery date rather than specimen collection date. It is based on location, and may or may not be applicable to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
