Standing Lab Orders for Migrant Patients

Migrant patients often have limited time and resources to attend clinic. To accommodate migrants this policy establishes standing orders for laboratory panels so that clients may receive the typically ordered profiles PRIOR to their first visit with the physician/mid-level provider. Hence the client will be enrolled, assessed per protocol, laboratory work will be ordered and drawn per these standing orders and the client will be given a subsequent appointment to see the physician/mid-level provider.
