Clinical Chemistry Result Reports

Clinical Chemistry Submitter Report Cards

The Clinical Chemistry Submitter report Card (Example, PDF 100kb) provides a monthly report on your facility’s Clinical Chemistry submissions, including number of specimens submitted and specific information on specimen quality and demographic issues.

 

Refer to the Guide to the Clinical Chemistry Report Card (PDF 90kb) for more information on each category.

Access to the report allows the facility to:

  • Identify strengths and opportunities for improvement.
  • Compare your facility’s performance with others in the state.

To access your facility’s report card, you must be a registered user of the Clinical Chemistry Web Application (Results Web Portal). If you are not already a registered user, you can sign up here.
