Results are sent to the doctor in which phase?

• A. Pre-Analytic Phase
• B. Analytic Phase
• C. Post Analytic Phase
• D. Quality Assurance

Answer: (C)

Results are sent to the doctor in the post-analytic phase. This phase covers the reporting and interpretation of test results, delivering the final report to the clinician, and notifying for any critical values. The pre-analytic phase includes steps before testing, such as patient identification, specimen collection and labeling, and transport. The analytic phase is the actual laboratory testing itself. Quality Assurance is the ongoing process that ensures accuracy across all phases, not a specific reporting stage.
