These incorrect results don't happen often, but they are more likely with certain of types tests, or if testing wasn't done right. If your provider thinks your test result may be inaccurate, you may need to have another test.
In all cases, your doctor should be able to give you a copy of the test results. Talk to the office of the health care provider who ordered the lab tests and explain that you would like to receive a copy of the results.
Sometimes incomplete or out-of-date demographic information gets sent with a lab test order. When this occurs, Quest Diagnostics can't always match a lab test result to your Quest Account, and in such cases, we can't send a lab test result to MyQuest.
When you get a clinical lab test, it's natural to take your results as hard facts. But certain factors can affect the accuracy of the test — like the test manufacturer and what the test is for. Some tests are accurate nearly 100% of the time, while others are well known for being unreliable.
The report, titled The Measurement of Errors in Clinical Laboratories, concluded that 80 to 90% of all diagnoses are made based on laboratory test results and diagnostic (laboratory) errors are reported at a frequency of 0.012 to 0.6% for all diagnostic tests.
It is often the result of either carelessness or limitations of human ability. Common examples of human error include spilling material, writing something down incorrectly, or reading measurements wrong.
Remember there are many reasons why a healthcare provider will contact you after a medical test. If results are concerning, they may call you or have a receptionist call to schedule an appointment. 15 A healthcare provider may also call to assure you everything is okay or discuss any needed follow-up tests.
With limited exceptions, the HIPAA Privacy Rule (the Privacy Rule) provides individuals with a legal, enforceable right to see and receive copies upon request of the information in their medical and other health records maintained by their health care providers and health plans.
You may get your blood test results after a few days, and usually within a few weeks. If you do not hear anything after a few weeks, contact the GP surgery or specialist. The GP, nurse, or specialist should talk to you about your results and explain what happens next.
In most cases, lab test results delivery times should not exceed two weeks. The most common reason for delay in receiving results is inaccurate or out-of-date personal information on record with your health care providers or in your Labcorp Patient™ portal personal profile.
The following blood tests will take longer: Diabetes blood test (Hba1c) – 1 week. Rheumatoid Arthritis blood test – 1 week. Coeliac blood test (endomyssial antibody) – 2 weeks.
Most test results are available within 2-5 days of collection. Yet some complex testing may take 14 days or more. Quest sends completed test results directly to the ordering doctor for review.
While they do have to meet very high standards, they can be wrong sometimes. For example, you might get a false positive (the results say you have the condition you were tested for, but you really don't) or a false negative (the results say you don't have a condition, but you really do).
To ensure the accuracy of your lab test results, it's essential to choose a reputable lab, verify the sample collection process, check the testing method, test multiple times, and discuss the results with your doctor.
Stress. “Factors like stress and lack of sleep can affect blood tests, but to a lesser degree,” Dr. Kin said, explaining that infections that affect your inflammation levels are a bigger concern when it comes to inaccurate test results.
However, the accuracy of lab test results can vary, depending on a variety of factors. To ensure the accuracy of your lab test results, it's essential to choose a reputable lab, verify the sample collection process, check the testing method, test multiple times, and discuss the results with your doctor.
These errors commonly include: Samples being shipped in broken or otherwise improper storage containers. Samples which are shipped or stored in improper conditions (e.g. excessive heat, excessive humidity). Samples which arrive at labs lacking necessary patient and/or sample information.
