Atlas Medical introduces instrument-ready bar coded (IRBC) label generation to help ensure patient identification and boost laboratory staff efficiency. IRBC labels, generated at time of specimen collection at outreach customer sites, eliminate the need for specimen relabeling upon arrival at the lab, allowing staff to focus on quality-of-care goals. Issues such as matching handwriting on tubes to orders and sample collections are mitigated via clear patient identification, as are phone calls to clarify writing on forms. Staff can attend to moving orders forward to manage a growing outreach volume.
