When your reputation is at stake

Complaints of missed pick-ups or lack of visibility into specimen processing statuses? Are you looking for better ways to show accountability to your customers and reduce the number of unstable specimens? Interested in reducing errors by having data to defend your specimen management handling?

The Problem: Getting a specimen from the patient to the field to the lab involves many steps. At each step of the way, there is real risk for error, resulting in loss, contamination or delays in processing — all which represent a risk to revenue and possible litigation.

Tracking the hundreds of thousands of patient specimens collected and shipped around the country requires accuracy and detail like no other industry. Using manual or cumbersome systems leaves you with no visibility or proof that your specimens are being handled within required parameters. Even million dollar RFID solutions become obsolete once the specimen leaves the four walls.
