Pathology laboratories are constantly held responsible for diagnostic errors that occur long before a sample ever crosses their threshold.
 
From delayed transport causing false potassium spikes to mislabeled tubes requiring manual intervention, the real risk lives in the gap between the clinic and the analyser. True diagnostic safety requires an unbroken digital thread from the moment a test is ordered to the moment the result is delivered.

Up to 70% of clinical decisions rely on pathology results, yet pre-analytical errors before samples even reach the analyser continue to slip through the cracks.
 
Establishing end-to-end accountability across collection and transport protects specimen integrity, reduces repeat testing, and closes the critical gap between phlebotomy and the laboratory.

While the NHS invests heavily in the modern analysis laboratory for better handling blood samples, manual pre-analytical processes continue to compromise patient safety.

Reducing risk factors with digital workflow processes gives you precision with diagnosis and avoid the costly consequences of misdiagnosis and human error due to manual work.

Did you know 60-70% of laboratory errors happen before analysis even begins?

The pre-analytical phase is a critical vulnerability in pathology and laboratory diagnostics. Problems there compromise patient safety and also lead to significant - but completely avoidable - costs.
