Critical values for hematology laboratory parameters have been revised to reflect recommendations from the most recent publications in this area. Key clinical stakeholders were consulted during the review process to ensure patient safety is maintained while minimizing the number of required phone calls to clinicians. Effective December 11, 2024, laboratory staff will immediately phone critical results to the ordering provider based on the below values. Other values previously defined as critical will no longer fall into this category. Please review the attached December 11 memorandum from Dr. Danielle Meunier, Medical Lead, Hematology.
