Blood Collection flow chart  \n2. BLOOD SPECIMEN COLLECTION PROCESS  \n2.1. Patient registration:  \n2.1.1. Proper patient identification begins at the registration process. Registration occurs when a patient is admitted to a hospital or along-or short-term care facility.  \n2.1.2. Collection test request: Upon patient receiving for blood collection, test request – manual or electronic-must be checked and ensure that information entered is accurate.  \n2.1.3.

The two main identifiers shall be the patient’s full name and Health Care (HC)  \nNumber/(QID)Number. HC number known as Medical Record Number (MRN) , and contains eight digits.  \n2.2.4. In Outpatient settings, verify patient identification using patient full name and HC number, and the information given shall be cross-referenced with details in patient’s medical record.  \n2.2.5.
