The Laboratory at HRMC plays a vital role in assessing patient care needs. The Laboratory Staff includes Medical Technologists, Medical Laboratory Technicians, and Phlebotomists; these members of the care team are committed to accuracy and efficiency in providing test results for patients.
The Laboratory at HRMC is Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) approved; it is also licensed by the Clinical Laboratory Improvements Amendment (CLIA) and accredited by COLA.
Over 97% of our test volume is performed in-house and most tests are completed that same day. The Laboratory staff will fax results to the physician who ordered the test as soon as they are available; hard copies are available through medical records. Laboratory services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
Our Laboratory is equipped with analyzers that are built to deliver maximum productivity. These analyzers deliver fast, accurate results with maximum efficiency. Our broad menu of tests provides the tools and answers physicians need to aid in the diagnosis and management of a variety of diseases; every test procedure is a small part of a bigger picture. The Laboratory is based within HRMC; therefore, the lab staff is able to work directly with the medical staff and provide immediate results.
