Explanation / Answer

1.The first step is writing an order by the medical team for a particular medical test. This can be a paper order or electronic chart. Then the clerk schedules for a requested blood draw; which is conducted by the nursing staff or the phlebotomy staff. After the blood sample is collected it is transported to the pathology and laboratory medicine department. Then the processing of the sample is done by the appropriate assay. Then the results are recorded online. Some hospitals maintain paper records as well.
