Diagnostic and Laboratory Coordination
Admitted patients may require laboratory examinations and diagnostic imaging to support diagnosis, treatment decisions, surgical care, and continued monitoring.
At New Padre Garcia Hospital, the inpatient team coordinates physician-requested testing with the Clinical Laboratory, Diagnostic Radiology Department, nursing staff, and other hospital services.
The healthcare team confirms the requested examination, preparation requirements, specimen needs, patient-transport method, and result-review process.
Testing schedules and availability depend on the examination, patient urgency, current hospital operations, and available diagnostic capabilities.
