Upon investigation with the facility, a total of 208 cbc result messages were transmitted to oncoemr (patient charts) for patients that were not in the office the day the results were posted.Investigation with the instrument vendor determined that the results were for a cbc test performed in mid (b)(6) 2022.Based on the facility configured purge settings, instrument manager purges specimen data after 3 days, therefore no specimen data was available for the date the tests were originally run or for the date the results were re-sent.The facility utilizes a results interface that is connected to the oncoemr through direct connection, and results can only be filed through this connection.Because the oncoemr results interface at the facility is configured to purge result data once it is transmitted to oncoemr, no data is available for analysis.The investigation has been unable to determine if the results were sent directly from the instrument due to no data available for analysis.Data innovations has been unable to determine with certainty if this was a malfunction of instrument manager software.The facility has removed the duplicated cbc results and is not aware of any adverse impact to patients at this time.
