All Prescriber Bulletin - In Basket Notifications re Cancelled Tests

All-user-bulletins highlight developments that all physicians need to be aware of when using the Connect Care clinical information system.

New In Basket Messages - Test Cancellations

Starting October 13, 2020, Connect Care prescribers receive In Basket notifications when some laboratory tests are cancelled; in both inpatient and outpatient care contexts. Cancellation notifications are suppressed when not clinically significant, as might happen when duplicate orders are detected and managed. Notifications are sent when testing cannot be performed because the needed specimen cannot be collected, the collected specimen is inadequate to purpose, or the test request is declined in compliance with guidelines.

Cancellation messages include links to the relevant patient chart and encounter, as well as details of the affected prescriber order.
