What to do at the end of the visit:
- Pap Collection Vial: MAKE SURE IT IS LABELED! (MA/LPN prints out labels and places them on the counter outside the MA station -- these are printed for you without you having to enter any Epic orders) Place in inner pocket of a specimen bag.
- Pap Log Book: If you did a pap, place a patient label in the Pap Log Book.
- Order Requisition: Once the order is placed in Epic, place both copies of the order requisition pages that print (4 sheets) into the outer pocket of the lab specimen bag.
- STI Testing: If done, label the specimen by hand with the patient's last name and place it in the same specimen bag with the pap vial. The MA will place the test label on it for you.
- Specimen Bag: Leave specimen bag with requisition orders +/- STI vial in the lab (1st room).
