If you require antibiograms for communities outside of the provinces listed above, please check with the provincial ministry of health for more information
Expedited Results & Critical Alert Values
LifeLabs and other OAML Laboratories have agreed to a defined schedule of test results that must be communicated directly to physicians based upon the two result categories described below. These reporting limits have been defined specifically for a community laboratory environment and are based on published literature as well as laboratory experience.
Laboratories have an obligation to communicate these abnormal results. The ordering physicians have the professional responsibility to provide the laboratory with contact information, which will allow direct communication of these results to the physician (or delegate providing coverage during absences). If we do not already have this information, please
Reference Ranges
Reference intervals are validated and updated periodically, and vary from method to method. They may change without notification. Ranges accompanying patient results should be deemed to be correct.
There are two events which may cause changes in the test results seen on LifeLabs reports:
- New testing methods have been implemented at the LifeLabs testing facility as of May 16, 2016
- BCBio collection facilities will have specimens diverted from the BCBio testing facility to the LifeLabs testing facility during the month of June 2016.
In some cases the new method at LifeLabs is the same as the previous method at BCBio.
The table describes which methods will be different and the expected changes in results.
Reference ranges accompanying the patient report are deemed to be correct and should be used to interpret results.
