You’ve Registered, Now What?
The following is a guide of how to use LabDash as a provider.
Once you have registered as a provider, the lab needs to verify your account. The lab will reach out at this point, if they haven’t already.
A lab representative will help you to determine how you will incorporate LabDash into your testing process.
Administering the Test
BEFORE starting the test, follow these important steps.
Log into LabDash and go to the “Collect Sample” screen.
Patient Identification
Identify who is getting tested. Scan or enter the patient's QR code, or select from a list of your patients. (Note: scanning may not be available on your device.)
Once the QR code is verified, or you have selected a patient from the list, the “Next” button appears - click it to continue.
Getting Barcode
Scan or enter the barcode from the test kit. (Note: scanning may not be available on your device.)
Once the barcode is verified, the “Next” button appears - click it to continue.
Collection Information
Enter your test type, test method, exposure, and symptoms.
When you are finished, click “Submit” to complete this step.
The “Next” button will then appear - click it to continue.
Review and Submit
Review the collection information and make sure it is correct.
Click “Submit Collection” to enter this information into LabDash. This is what will connect the sample barcode to the patient's account.
Now you are ready to collect the sample.
Your Patient is Ready to Collect Their Sample
You have completed the steps above. The following are important steps to ensure your patient takes their test correctly and that the lab receives their kit.
The test consists of a nasal swab, a test tube, a biohazard bag, and a barcode sticker. Use the swab to swab each nostril for at least 10 seconds. Then break the swab off into the test tube. Place the barcode onto the test tube vertically and write the patient’s initials clearly onto a blank part of the test tube. Put the labeled test tube into the sealed bag.
Now the sample is ready to go to the lab!
