A corrected report replaces an earlier final report on the same accession. Use it when released results or demographics change after a final report already went out. The PDF looks like a normal report. bLIS records that this version is corrected, stores a required reason, and can store an optional classification.

​
When to generate one

Generate a corrected report when a final report already exists and you need to send an updated copy. Typical cases:
  • A result was amended after the final report
  • Subject or sample details on the report were wrong
  • Tests were added or excluded after the final report
If the accession is already final, the generate action on the accession is Generate corrected report.
Do not use a corrected report for the first release. That is a final report.

​
What you enter

Before you preview or send, bLIS asks for: The classification is internal. Clients do not see it on the PDF.

​
Generate a corrected report

1

Update the accession

Amend the result, demographics, or tests that need to change. The previous final report stays in history.
2

Open report preview

On the accession, generate a report. Because a final report already exists, this starts a corrected report.
3

Enter the reason

Type why you are issuing the correction. You cannot preview or generate without a reason.
4

Choose a classification

If Admin → Lists has at least one active category, select one. If your lab turned on Require a classification when generating a corrected report, you must select one before preview.
5

Preview, then generate

Click Preview to review the PDF. Then Generate or Generate and Send.
You can Edit the reason or classification from the preview bar before you generate.

​
After you generate

  • The accession report list shows a Corrected badge
  • If you chose a classification, its code appears next to that badge
  • The previous report remains available for audit
  • Integrations that send on report release, such as iTransplant, treat the new report as a new send

​
Classifications

Classifications are categories your lab defines for why a corrected report was issued. Configure them in Admin → Lists. If the list is empty, the classification field does not appear. If it has items, you choose one when generating a corrected report. You can require a classification from that same Lists screen. The classification is not printed on the PDF.
