Frequently Asked Questions
What is a stat laboratory?
A stat laboratory is a lab system designed to provide quick results for diagnostic testing. Often, these results are necessary during the treatment of medical emergencies.
At Dearborn Family Clinic, the on-site stat lab makes it convenient to quickly diagnose the cause of your pain or other symptoms, so treatment can begin as soon as possible.
What lab tests are available on-site?
The Dearborn Family Clinic stat lab team offers priority results for a variety of diagnostic blood and urine tests, to evaluate data concerning:
- Infection
- Pregnancy
- Strep throat
- Blood count
- Organ health
- Hormone levels
- Blood glucose levels
If existing health issues are identified through diagnostic testing, your Dearborn Family Clinic doctor customizes a treatment plan to meet your needs based on your results. Your provider may order additional stat lab tests to confirm a diagnosis or rule out other health conditions.
The Dearborn Family Clinic staff also uses diagnostic testing as part of your preventive health care plan. Testing can quickly identify issues like diabetes, or organ failure, if you’re considered high risk due to a family history but aren’t currently experiencing symptoms.
What are the benefits of an on-site stat laboratory?
