Canceling a test that has not been resulted. Use the options in lab package: –“Delete test from an accession ” – “Delete entire order or individual tests “ Canceling or deleting tests using the above options does not send CPT codes to Billing. Do not result the test using an asterisk (*)

Canceling a test that has not been resulted. Entering an * as a result does NOT cancel a test! Entering an *only puts the word 'canc' as a result! Using a * does not delete the test from PCC! NOTE!!! - Unless the correct option to “Delete a test from an accession” is used, the facility may actually end up billing for a test that was never performed and was actually canceled.

REMOVING an erroneous result that has been approved and reported. Once the test has been reported, it can never be totally deleted and still appears in the lab tab. The test result is removed using the EM option, by replacing the incorrect result with a “*” which displays as a “canceled” result. The comments automatically reflect the deletion along with who deleted the result and why. This meets the accreditation requirement of test deletion track record.

CHANGING a test result that has already been approved and reported. The result is changed by using the EM option. Enter E for editing the result, and/or C for editing comments. The comments automatically reflect the corrected result along with who and when the result was edited. This meets the accreditation requirement of corrected test result tracking.

Result Laboratory Tests through PCC Data Entry There is an alternate method to result lab tests directly into PCC through PCC Data Entry. This may be the only option for some sites that do not use RPMS lab package. These results are only available in PCC –Results are not populated in the lab package –Results are not visible on the Labs tab in EHR.
