Procedure
A screening glucose test will be ordered by the care team. The specimen auto-collects so it will not fall to a draw list. No physical specimen will be collected. 1 hour after collection, the screening glucose test will query the LIS for a previously resulted glucose result (within the last 24 hours), either from the main lab or a point of care assay. Based on the value the LIS finds, the test will result with the appropriate text and may or may not reflex testing to be collected during the next morning run.
Results and Critical Values
No call values have been established for this assay.
Comments for Screening Glucose:
Prior Glucose within 24 hours is ≤140 mg/dL: Screening glucose Negative. Patient has not had a serum or capillary glucose result >140 mg/dL in the last 24 hours. No HbA1c ordered.
Prior Glucose within 24 hours is >140 mg/dL with an HbA1c result within the past 90 days: Screening glucose Positive. Patient has had a serum or capillary glucose result >140 mg/dL in the last 24 hours. Patient has had HbA1c measured in the past 90 days, please review most recent HbA1c result. No HbA1c ordered.
Prior Glucose within 24 hours is >140 mg/dL with no HbA1c result within the past 90 days: Screening glucose Positive. Patient has had a serum or capillary glucose result >140 mg/dL in the last 24 hours. A HbA1c has been ordered for collection at the next day's 0600 draw.
No Glucose within 24 hours: Screening glucose unable to be performed. Patient has not had a serum or capillary glucose measured in the last 24 hours. An order for Glucose, Serum has been reflex ordered for collection at the next day's 0600 draw. Screening glucose will be re-assessed once the glucose measurement has been made.
