Laboratory Outpatient Improvement Project (LOIP)

The Laboratory Outpatient Improvement Project (LOIP) is a new, person-and family-centered approach to improving lab services at Northern Health. It includes the following changes:

  • Requisition (digitization/ScanLab)
  • Phone self-scheduling (through regional call centre)
  • Online self-scheduling (through HealthELife)
  • Lab scheduling (through Cerner)
  • Patient queue management (through NH Check In)

Non-urgent requisition will take 48 hours to process. Then, patients can access labs three ways: 

Note: These services are being implemented between November 1, 2022 and March 31, 2023. They may not be available in your community yet, see the project schedule below.
