Hi all When our GPs are requesting a GTT, the way they currently indicate the time of the samples is by responding to prompts that then 'feeds' that information into the 'investigations requested' area of the printed request form. Although this provides eye-readable info to the lab staff, the labels that print out as part of our ICE arrangements bear the date and time the ICE request was generated (although appreciate that this could be adjusted to show date/ time of first of the samples). Additional problem is that the bar-coded samples labels both have same lab number whereas the Winpath system needs separate lab numbers !! Has anyone else constructed an elegant solution to DFT's that links to labels for the bottles so that both can be labelled appropriately ?? Regards Dave

Hi Dave, This is how I would set it up, to make it as simple as possible for the requestors and lab staff. Set up fasting and 2 hour glucoses as individual tests that each have their own order, with the fasting named as Glucose Tolerance Test and the 2 hour as an included test. Set up containers for fasting and 2 hour, attach these to the matching test e.g. GTT - Fasting, GTT - 2 Hour. Depending on your container format, this will put appropriate identification on the labels. When a request is made for a GTT, this method should request the correct tests, give you separate lab numbers for each tests and give you useful container labels.
