Our new PathTrak service is designed to provide greater security in pathology and haematology transportation and offer savings to NHS and private budgets.
PathTrak uses a sophisticated GPS ‘track and trace’ system to reduce lost samples, streamline medical courier routes and deliver a more efficient flow of samples to the laboratory. Progress of samples can be checked using an on-line digital dashboard and a comprehensive trail of electronic audit supports Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA) and Clinical Pathology Accreditation (CPA) quality control.
- Reduced costs. With pathology representing around 4% of NHS spending, and involved in up to 80% of all decisions affecting diagnosis or treatment, the costs associated with pathology have been a focus within the NHS modernisation agenda. NHS pilots using PathTrak have delivered up to 20% savings on pathology transport budgets.
- Reduced risks. The National Patient Safety Agency (NPSA) identified transport as one of the most common causes of patient safety incidents in pathology. PathTrak provides real-time tracking of samples and a complete audit trail to reduce the risks generally associated with pathology transport.
