Subject: Nutrition labs ordered on Sunday for Monday result is changing to ordered on Monday for Tuesday result

Starting June 14th, we are moving ordering of routine nutrition labs (weekly Prealbumin, triglycerides,  and CMP) to be ordered on Monday for Tuesday results instead of previous process.
 
Sundays: When working the weekend doing NSS activities, you only need to order things for Monday that seem necessary for the patient.  
 
Mondays: This would mean for all TPN/Tube feeding patients that you see on Monday that has not had recent (last 3-5 days) nutrition labs resulted, please order the appropriate labs on Monday for Tuesday result
 
 
 
Dietitians are on board with this change as well.
 
Let me know if you have questions.
