Which administrative instrument aligns laboratory procedures with AO 2020-0047?

• A. AO 2020-0047
• B. AO 2021-0037
• C. Administrative Order No. 2021-0037
• D. RA 11223

Answer: (C)

Aligning laboratory procedures with a specific administrative directive is accomplished through an implementing administrative order that translates the policy into concrete actions. Administrative Order No. 2021-0037 provides the guidelines, steps, and mapping needed to bring laboratory procedures into compliance with AO 2020-0047. It is the instrument that operationalizes the policy, detailing how procedures, forms, responsibilities, and workflows should be updated to reflect the 2020 directive. The 2020-0047 order sets the policy itself, so it is the target of alignment rather than the instrument that performs the alignment. RA 11223 is a broader law and not the specific administrative instrument to align lab procedures with AO 2020-0047.
