ELECTRONIC CUSTODY AND CONTROL SYSTEM FOR HUMAN ASSAY TEST SAMPLES

摘要

A system, method, and computer program that may used to more quickly, accurately, and efficiently identify, catalog, and track human assay samples and create documentation with respect to the human assay samples. The computer program and method include the steps of: storing donor information in a donor information database accessible by a computer; storing client information in a client information database accessible by the computer; retrieving client information necessary to determine a type of test to be performed on a specimen; storing collection facility information in a collection facility database accessible by the computer; administering a human analyte test using the computer program to guide a collector of the specimen and identify problematic exceptions; receiving the test result electronically and storing the result in a test result database accessible by the computer; and permitting the client, Medical Review Officer, and other authorized persons to electronically access the test result via a communications network.
