having a wipe-clean board on the fridge with client/animal names, what test is to be done and a tick box for when it is complete. Then the u/s is put into the fridge. nurse who are assigned to doing bloods/inpatients that day are resposible.. i never found a problem with missing u/s doing it this way :D

having a white board in the back with all the ops, ops details, times and procedures to be done whilst they are there and their kennel number if need be, also what vet is doing it. then below that have a list of all lab work needing doing, bloods in fridge, bloods to go out, bloods to be taken, urinalysis to be taken or in fridge and what time it was brought in. also have a book in the lab that gets checked off when it's been done and listing it's results. have tick boxes on the white board to let others in the practice out back to know it's been done and by whom.

actually placing it in a nurse's hand. if they can't do it at the time (ideal) then they put it in the fridge and have it on their to do list

we had the same problem with mislaying samples, our solution was to put a pinbored by the ops list and when a sample came in thier details where put on the bord and the sample in a basket in the fridge, then 1 person was responsible for testing and recording them, either on a weekly rota basis or 1 person permanently.

might sound a bit confusing but we dont lose the samples anymore and they get tested on the day.

Could you maybe have a book??? that gets filled in when its brought in and who has put it in the fridge. then it can get marked off when the urine sample is run???
