As part of routine quality monitoring, Salem Health Laboratories has identified an issue in our system where a variety of testing did not get completed for both in-house and reference lab testing. We have calculated that about 214 tests sent to Salem Health Laboratories were affected between February 2023 and October 2025.
The lab will communicate directly to those providers whose patients were missing a test by the end of the month.
We determined there was a lack of new shared knowledge on some of the capabilities within our laboratory information system. Moving forward, we are starting a monitoring process to prevent this from happening.
Salem Health Laboratories is committed to providing quality results for your patients.
