Real-Time Tracking for Home Sample Collection Teams
Diagnostic centres and home healthcare providers use Optick to track phlebotomists and home visit staff — ensuring on-time patient service, verified sample collections, and zero missed visits.
The problem
What breaks without the right tools
No proof that phlebotomists actually reached the patient
Without verified visit confirmation, you rely on staff self-reporting. Missed collections mean patient complaints, re-booking costs, and wasted lab processing capacity.
Route inefficiency leading to delayed patient service
Manual route planning for home collection staff is suboptimal. Staff travel unnecessarily long routes when smarter sequencing could serve significantly more patients per day.
Sample chain-of-custody documentation
The right sample from the right patient at the right time requires precise records. Paper-based systems are error-prone, difficult to audit, and represent a medico-legal liability risk.
Patient communication and TAT accountability
Patients expect arrival updates. Labs need staff location data to forecast sample processing TAT. Neither is possible without live location visibility into your collection team.
