Gather and Analyze Patient Information
  • Collect, analyze and integrate patient information in order to identify and meet the
    patient-specific needs (Physical/mental limitations, current emotional/physiological status
    regarding the testing procedure, pertinent medical/social history), and to determine final
    testing parameters/procedures in conjunction with the ordering physician or clinical
    director and laboratory protocols.
  • Complete and verify documentation.
  • Explain pre-testing, testing, and post-testing procedures to the patient.
Testing Preparation Procedures
  • Prepare and calibrate equipment required for testing to determine proper functioning
