How a lab report is made
1. Collect the sample. A sample number is made for the label.
2. Receive it in the lab.
3. Enter results. Flags (L, H, CRITICAL) appear by themselves.
4. Send for approval. The technician says the results are ready to be checked.
5. Approve and release. A different person (pathologist or senior technician) checks and signs. Only then is the report final.
6. Print. The doctor sees the report and it can be printed.
