When will my labs be drawn if I’m in the hospital?
If you are an inpatient, your doctor may want your lab tests drawn and completed very early in the morning. Morning phlebotomy rounds for patients in the hospital begin as early as 5:00 a.m. This ensures your doctor has the results in time for his/her morning rounds. Most lab tests are processed on site, and results are automatically placed in your medical record; where your doctor can review at any time.
