New Jersey Request for Bacterial or Viral Culture or Parasite Identification

A hospital or physician may request a lab facility to identify a parasite or take a culture for bacteria or virus confirmation. The New Jersey Request for Bacterial or Viral Culture or Parasite Identification app is used by a health care provider to request laboratory tests for a patient for diagnostic purposes. With the app, the physician requisitions the lab work, which includes patient information, suspected organisms, specimen information including source information and specimen collection date. The app user will indicate the laboratory test requested for a bacteria or virus and any travel information if the patient requires a blood culture for parasitic diseases. This app is a useful tool for physicians to clearly communicate a patient's need for clinical laboratory testing.
