Sounds like that hospital needs a drastic update to their their HIS, Hospital Information System, software. Most of the major hospital here in Bakersfield have all their enrolled doctors and affiliated labs and other services linked into their system. I can go to any of the affiliated labs for blood draw and my doctor will have the results by the next morning. If I go to the main lab, he will have them within 2 to 3 hours, depending on how long the test actually takes to process. They even have a patient portal where I can also check what the results are and see my account with any and all insurance payments and if there is a balance due, make the payment.
