HPV primary testing:
- Colposcopy is recommended for immunocompromised patients testing positive or indeterminate for any high-risk HPV genotype on their HPV primary test.
- This applies to patient age groups that are eligible for HPV primary cervical cancer screening (ages 50 – 69).
- Read the lab memo.
Ophthalmic pathology requisition:
- A new provincial ophthalmic pathology requisition, #22278, must now be used for all ophthalmic specimens.
- Please discard or archive copies of previous requisitions.
- Read the lab memo.
Connect Care delivery location:
- Lab results have been delivered to unexpected locations for some future orders.
- The issue is related to Connect Care updating the delivery of results to respect each provider’s chosen primary delivery location.
- Some future orders (including pending standing orders and therapy plan orders) have been delivered to an unexpected location when the primary delivery location was changed after the order was entered, causing results to go to the location preferred at the time of signing.
- To ensure results are delivered to the updated delivery preference, providers are advised to cancel outstanding orders and issue replacement orders when they next see the patient.
