Laboratory tests, such as blood tests, are essential to your health. They are an important way for your physician to screen for disease, diagnose, treat and monitor your medical condition.<\/p>\n
Laboratory staff will explain all procedures to you. Please ask your physician if you have any questions regarding the laboratory tests. All of our phlebotomy staff are trained and certified. We use the latest techniques and guidelines to ensure specimen integrity and to protect the safety of our staff and patients. Your laboratory results are strictly confidential and will be sent to your physician or clinic as soon as they are ready.<\/p>\n
We receive provincial funding to perform laboratory tests on inpatients and outpatients who visit a physician\u2019s office or registered clinic onsite at one of the three Ottawa Hospital campuses (Civic, General, Riverside), or the University of Ottawa Heart Institute.<\/p>\n
Note:<\/strong>\u00a0Patients whose physician or clinic is not affiliated with The Ottawa Hospital or the Heart Institute should have their tests done at one of the laboratories in the community.<\/p>\n Remember to bring<\/strong>\u00a0the requisition for tests signed by your doctor and your health card (OHIP) for identification. If you do not have a current valid OHIP card, bring a piece of identification that has your photo, such as a driver\u2019s license.<\/p>\n Appointments:<\/strong>\u00a0You don\u2019t need an appointment except for some very rare tests, and these will be booked by your physician\u2019s office.<\/p>\n Civic Campus:\u00a0<\/strong>Monday to Friday, 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Closed during weekends and statutory holidays.
