Laboratory Results

Clinical Laboratories' test results are distributed electronically to the Integrated Healthcare Information System (IHIS). Hard copy reports are generated and distributed automatically to a printer or fax machine to selected locations per pre-established schedule. Patients and Caregivers: Please contact Medical Records (MIM) for laboratory results at 614-293-8657. The laboratory is unable to provide laboratory results directly.

Laboratory Reports

Clinical Laboratories' reports include: the patient legal name, medical information number, ordering provider name, collect date and time, report date and time, units of measure, and current reference range for each reported test when available. Unless otherwise specified on the report, all testing is performed in the UH Laboratories at the Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center.
