Our lab offers a streamlined process for submitting test orders through our secure online portal. Physicians or clinical staff can easily enter orders digitally, then use our pre-barcoded vials to label and collect samples. Once the vial is scanned, the order is automatically linked to the correct patient and test. This system reduces errors and ensures proper tracking throughout the entire workflow. Results are then delivered directly into the physician’s EHR system via seamless integration, enabling faster, more accurate diagnoses and improving patient care through real-time data access.
