Roles performed by the Pathological laboratories are of utmost importance and timely delivery of the collected samples comes first among them. Read this article to know which service provider to pick for medical deliveries.

Pathological labs perform one of the most critical functions of the medical sector and that is the diagnosis of the diseases through blood sample tests and specimen analysis. Only after the release of medical reports by the diagnostic center, a doctor can start the treatment of a patient. Thus, the role of a pathological lab is beyond comparison and time is the first most thing that matters the most here. And this is exactly where the service of a trusted medical courier is most needed.

High professionalism is required when it comes to handling sensitive and irreplaceable items. A reliable medical courier also ensures that all the specimens reach their destinations in perfect condition like the way they have been picked up from their sources.

All of the above reasons call for the support of a courier agency that has a 5-star rating in terms of level of delivery services. In simpler words, you need a company that will never disappoint you with poor quality of services, be it about timely delivery or proper handling of the items.

So, here are the criteria that qualify an agency as the most reliable.

Patient Comes First

Choosing a wrong courier company can cost a patient’s life and bring down the reputation of the lab or the diagnostic center. Late deliveries often make the blood samples untestable, thus resulting in the wrong diagnosis and hence affecting treatment. Unprofessional behavior or mishandling of the samples would leave a negative impression on the patient party’s mind and no healthcare professional would recommend that particular lab next time to any patient after such a experience. A well-organized team with experienced driver ensures that delivery is on-time and service quality is also as per their expectations.

Maintaining Visibility in operations

These days technology has made almost every impossible event possible. Yes. It is true. Now you can track your courier agency’s every single move online via live tracking options and get minute-to-minute updates on your parcel’s whereabouts. Driver details along with a photo of the driver are provided to you so that your medical team can reach him whenever they want.

Providing multiple locations delivery

Medical deliveries often involve a chain of delivery locations instead of a single destination. So, while picking a particular service provider you need to ask them whether they will be offering you a full chain of custody where multiple location deliveries are accounted for.

Better protection and security

Companies offering customizable features that take the security level and quality of the service a notch higher are considered the best. A few of the worth mentioning features are scanning barcodes, validating them, collecting a signature from the receiver upon arrival, verifying recipient’s detail like name, age, and ID proof.

Undertaking a lab’s duty demands deep focus and complete attentiveness. An irresponsible or ignorant logistics process can disturb the lab member’s peace of mind and result in poor service quality. Pathological labs seek courier companies whom they can trust with their blood samples and specimens wholly and know they are the ones who can optimize the logistics strategy to satisfy the customers.
