The tips of getting nucleic acid tests at PUMCH without queuing and gathering are quite simple: making appointment, checking-in during appointed time, and visiting on off-peak time. "Let the information system do more and let the patients run less" is always our mission of information construction at PUMCH. At present, the "nucleic acid test appointment" button is on the home page of PUMCH App. One can select "self-service pay" function and tap "blood sampling appointment" to make an appointment for nucleic acid test.

Requested outpatients, patients being admitted and accompanying personnel need to make an appointment for nucleic acid test after getting doctor’s order and paying for the test, and then come to do the test at the appointed time. Patients and accompanying personnel need to show the appointment voucher, ID card and PUMCH pass at the entrance of outpatient clinic. For the sake of shortening the waiting time, patients can scan the QR code of PUMCH pass after 6 p.m. the day before visiting, fill it in advance and save the screen capture.
