TridentCare – A Provider of Cost-Effective, Timely, and Accurate Lab Outreach Services

 In today's healthcare landscape, medical facilities are facing increasing challenges in fulfilling their laboratory needs. Rising lab costs and the need for proper allocation of budget and space make it difficult for facilities to provide in-house laboratory services for all their testing requirements. However, outsourcing laboratory needs can provide a solution to these challenges. TridentCare lab outreach services offer a cost-effective and efficient way for facilities to meet their laboratory testing needs while reducing costs and minimizing patient exposure.

Key Points:

• Samples collected by the facility nursing staff are tested by TridentCare laboratories.
• Custom software, next-day air service, and top-notch laboratories ensure timely and accurate testing and results.
• TridentCare lab outreach services address the needs of patients, nurses, and doctors effectively.

The Lab Outreach Process:

TridentCare lab outreach services follow a step-by-step approach to ensure efficient and accurate testing:

1. Order: The nurse places an online order through the TridentCare laboratory information system, selecting the patient from the database, mentioning the required tests, and printing the requisition.

2. Collect: The nurse collects the sample from the patient using the information provided in the requisition.

3. Label: The nurse labels the tube and places the sample and requisition in the provided packaging, applying the FedEx label.

4. Ship: A FedEx representative collects the sample and delivers it to the TridentCare laboratory.

5. Results: The required testing is initiated upon arrival at the TridentCare laboratory, and the results are faxed to the facility. Critical results prompt immediate notification to the nursing staff for prompt treatment.

TridentCare goes beyond sample collection and result provision, offering additional benefits to facilities:
