Features and benefits

Improved Patient Care
By using a 2D barcode identifier, the blood sample, test request and patient are matched with error-free precision throughout the whole request-to-report process.

Efficient Test Requesting
Manual data entry and transcription errors are virtually eliminated by allowing clinicians to send pathology test orders from the patient’s bedside or GP surgery, direct to the laboratory.

Improved Phlebotomy Management
By providing a real-time collection list on a wireless PDA and printing the required sample tube labels at the patient bedside, PathTrack prevents any chance of patient misidentification or sample mislabelling, and improves the speed of sample collection.

Results at the Bedside
The clinician can access the most recent results at the bedside, accurately matching test to patient, thereby allowing treatment or discharge to occur as quickly as possible.

Accurate Early Warning System for GP Requests
PathTrack eliminates the ‘unknowns’ of the late afternoon arrival of community pathology requests.
