The report must be amended, not deleted. The amended reason should state the reason for the amendment, and the correction. "This report is amended to correct the patient data to the correct patient" All electronic reports that are downstream must show that correction. You can never just delete an incorrect report. Terri

Scenario: Specimen received, processed and reported out. Physician office calls to say that the specimen was labeled with incorrect patient information. 1. Do you remove the results? 2. do you amend the report? 3. do you leave any trace? 4. is your process the same for surgical specimens as it is for GYN paps? Looking forward to the discussion, Nancy Schmitt Pathology Support Services Mgr.
