Bar Code System
Al Borg’s bidirectional bar coding system leaves no room for human error when
placing patient samples in equipment or clerical errors when printing patient
results. The bar code system follows an accurate procedure as described below:
- RESERVATION
Once you walk into any of Al Borg’s branches, you will find yourself in a pleasant friendly environment. Our receptionist will review the list of tests you wish to do, he will explain the necessary precautions and will assist you in filling the required forms. A doctor is available should you have any additional questions.
Once all the data has been entered into our central computer, a job order and set of bar codes will be automatically generated.
-
BAR CODE
Each bar code will show your name, serial number as well as additional data concerning your tests.
-
SAMPLING & TUBE CODING
Once your sample has been drawn by any of our experienced phlebotomists, the bar code with your name and serial number will be attached to the tube containing your sample. The latter will then be placed in the respective analyzer.
-
ANALYSIS
By the use of Laser technology the analyzer will scan the bar code slip attached to the patients sample, compare it with the central computer for test verification and then proceed through the analysis, no human intervention is required throughout these stages.
The analytical process then starts and final results are reviewed by our team of specialized doctors and correlated with the clinical condition to ensure their validity.
-
PRINTING RESULTS
After authorization by the specialized doctor, or by the autovalidation module
your results will be sent automatically
to the printers, again without any human intervention. In fact, 85% of our results
are printed not typed to avoid clerical errors.
for details of autovalidation module see
