Specimen collection is the vital first step in the laboratory diagnosis process. Problems can arise when a patient is misidentified (see PPID) or a specimen isn’t labelled correctly. In Australia, healthcare providers are required to comply with Australian Standard (AS) ISO 15189-2013* when it comes to the collection and testing of pathology specimens.
At Health ID, we understand the importance of having specialised computers and label printers to assist with the specimen collection process in Australia. We partner with some of the biggest names in specimen collection labelling, including Zebra, SATO and Datalogic. We also work with many of Australia’s leading healthcare providers, including NSW Health and Queensland Health.
