Data Entry is required to transcribe the data from the Test Requisition Form into the Laboratory Information Management System. To reduce cycle time for the specimen test process data entry much must be done quickly and accurately. You do not want the lab to be waiting on data entry to be completed. As long as volume of tests is small data entry tasks are manageable but what if the volume exceeds a few hundred tests every day. You want all the data to be keyed- accurate addresses, accurate data for billing and accurate data on tests to be performed.
