POC result corrections

Good morning,
I have a question about result corrections. I've had multiple tickets lately of a glucometer or epoc result being sent to the wrong patient chart.
Are your facilities POC team allowed to remove incorrect results from the chart? Are they then allowed to change and resend the results from your QML/RAALS to the correct patient chart?
Our policy doesn't clearly spell this out; it just states that any mislabeled specimens in the lab must be recollected or if they are a difficult specimen (CSF, body fluid) the collector must come down to identify and relabel.
Thanks for your input,
Jake

Our policy states that POC can remove results from the incorrect chart, but we cannot transfer results to the correct one.
The results get omitted/credited (note: the test is not deleted) off the wrong person's chart. A comment is placed on the test stating the error made.
