Introduction Interpretation of test results is not less important than specimen collection and analysis. Laboratory specialists need to be particularly attentive when interpreting the results since any errors in this process may cause harmful outcomes for patients. Lab technologists at Al-Rahba adhere to all regulations concerning the formulation of reports and their interpretations. Standard Reporting Systems and Recommendations A commonly established way of reporting results is to release the test outcomes from the Center System through the Hospital Information System upon verification by the technologist who did the test, senior technologist, or head of the section. Standard reporting in the Laboratory Information System PathNet incorporates the following procedures:  1. for hematology and chemistry sections, a technologist should choose the option “Accession Result Entry” in PathNet. Then, the patient accession number should be entered. When the Center shows the results on the screen, the technologist should confirm them by choosing the “verify” option on the bottom right part of the screen. For the tests performed manually, it is necessary to input the results into the system prior to verifying them (1).  2. for the blood bank section, it is necessary to choose “BB Result Entry” in PathNet and follow the same steps. There may also occur a need to report the results by telephone. Only panic values are reported with the help of this method. According to the Panic Value Notification policy, it is necessary to report panic values to the ward nurse or requesting physician. Interpretation of Results and the Process of Issuing the Final Report Interpretation is a permanent part of patients’ medical records. Upon verification in the LIS, all patient results are forwarded to the HIS Powerchart, in which the results form is viewed by the physician. In order to preserve confidentiality, results are not given to patients or their family members. Instead, they are relayed through the physician, and a patient can ask for a hard copy through medical records. Appropriate interpretation presupposes entering the results of manual and blood bank tests into a logbook. This duty should be fulfilled before the shift ends. The technologist should sign the laboratory’s copy of the results and mention the time and date of completing the test. Such reports are kept in a file for a period of nearly two years. Interpretation of results excludes giving any medical advice to patients or their family members by technical staff. When a patient or family member asks for interpretation, only a hematologist or laboratory COS may offer some comments or suggestions (2). However, these specialists need to consult the physician prior to providing any interpretation for patients or family members. All lab reports for manually filled inquiries should be available at the reception. They can only be given to authorized staff members (clinic porter, ward porter, nurse, physician, or Medical Records Department clerk) after acquiring their signatures. The reports that will be sent to the physician have to be signed by the technologist who did the test and, if possible, the head of the section or senior technologist within normal working hours (8 a.m. – 4 p.m.). After normal hours (4 p.m. – 8 a.m.), on Fridays and Saturdays, and Public holidays, the technologist responsible for performing the test has to issue a report and verify it. The final report has to contain the following elements:   * the patient’s name and
