Hemolyzed specimens

We are looking to improve our process for tracking hemolyzed specimens. Currently, when we receive a hemolyzed specimen, staff notify the department, the specimen is unreceived, and then they add a canned text which includes:



  • Time redraw requested

  • Who requested the redraw

  • The individual and department notified

  • If it was from an IV start or line draw


We use Meditech for our LIS/HIS, and there is no easy way to pull this information.


I would love if you could share what your process is.


Thank you!
