A physical blood sample of animal is sent to a satellite laboratory
facility. The blood sample is pre-processed into sub-samples of the
sample and the sub-samples are coded. The coded blood sub-samples are
physically carried to the main laboratory for analysis. The satellite
facility electronically inputs a request for a laboratory analysis by a
main laboratory. The request is electronically transmitted to the main
laboratory, and the main laboratory coordinates the electronically
received input from the satellite facility with the physical blood
sub-samples. A computer report of the analysis from the laboratory is
obtained for the satellite facility. A clinical pathologist with data of
physical characteristics of the animal makes a diagnosis. A menu on a
computer permits the generation of a supplemental report to support the
diagnosis. An integrated computer report having the laboratory analysis,
supplemental report, and a pathologist-enhanced report is electronically
communicated to the client.
