Barcode technology reduces risk and improves patient safety and satisfaction. Phlebotomists are required to positively ID a patient by their coded wristband, as well as confirm a secondary ID method, in order to complete the process.
Mobile specimen collection solutions help phlebotomy teams see increased ROI. These tools not only eliminate unnecessary redraws, but help reduce medical malpractice lawsuit risk as well by reducing adverse events.
MobiLab, our mobile phlebotomy software, is flexible, and available on a variety of devices including iOS and Android, so hospitals can take advantage of existing hardware investments.

3 Reports Every Specimen Collection Team Should Be Using
A streamlined specimen collection process is a key part of any hospital’s workflow. Even small inefficiencies
Barcode specimen collection is a digital process that uses barcode scanning, positive patient identification, and bedside label printing to help ensure the right specimen is collected from the right patient. It helps hospitals reduce manual labeling steps, improve specimen accuracy, and streamline phlebotomy workflows.
Barcode specimen collection helps reduce specimen labeling errors by confirming the patient’s identity before collection and printing the correct label at the bedside. This reduces the risk of preprinted labels, handwriting issues, and labels being matched to the wrong patient.
Specimen labels should be printed at the bedside because it helps ensure the label is created only after the patient has been positively identified. This reduces the chance of using the wrong label, carrying labels for multiple patients, or relying on handwritten collection details.
Positive patient identification, or PPID, confirms that the specimen is being collected from the correct patient before the label is printed or applied. In a barcode specimen collection workflow, this often includes scanning the patient’s wristband and confirming a second patient identifier.
Hospitals should look for a mobile specimen collection solution that supports positive patient identification, bedside label printing, real-time order updates, and easy-to-use mobile workflows. The right solution should help reduce labeling errors while making specimen collection easier for phlebotomy, nursing, and lab teams.
MobiLab helps streamline phlebotomy workflows by giving collectors access to current orders, collection instructions, STAT alerts, and bedside label printing from a mobile device. This helps reduce manual steps, unnecessary redraws, and delays between collection and lab processing.
MobiLab is flexible and available on a variety of device types, including iOS and Android devices. This allows hospitals to support mobile specimen collection workflows while making use of familiar or existing hardware where appropriate.
MobiLab displays current, previous, and future collection information so care teams have better visibility before collecting a specimen. This can help reduce unnecessary redraws, avoid repeat needle sticks, and improve the patient experience.
MobiLab helps improve STAT specimen turnaround time by sending immediate STAT order alerts to collectors and keeping order information current at the time of collection. This helps urgent draws move faster and supports quicker processing once specimens return to the lab.
