Lady Minto's lab has instituted the new Lab Management System that connects Lady Minto to laboratories across northeastern Ontario.
Laboratory tests are performed in biochemistry, haematology,
immunohematology, and serology. Lab accuracy is maintained through constant quality control, continued equipment upgrading, and participation in the Cochrane Regional Lab Program.
Testing that is not able to be performed on site is completed through an arrangement with a reference laboratory.
Our Lab Management System links 7 laboratories to a centralized database to help manage, report and track all tests performed. Patient samples are identified by bar codes, virtually eliminating the possibility of errors. Results are now automatically transmitted between laboratories!
A technologist is on call after hours in order to provide 24-hour coverage. The Laboratory also maintains the Hospital blood bank and performs ECG examinations.
If you are visiting the hospital for some lab work please register with the front receptionist.
