- 02Preserve specimen source and site distinctions from the procedure room through courier handoff.
- 03Confirm daily pickup cutoffs, after-hours handling, shipping contingencies, and escalation contacts.
- 04Turnaround expectations are established by active test, workflow, capacity, and onboarding scope rather than promised on this page.
CONNECTIVITY & REPORTING
Fit result delivery to the client workflow
ASC connectivity can be planned around facilities, providers, procedures, authorized users, and centralized or location-specific result routing.
Request an EMR Integration Review →Multi-location ordering
Map facility, provider, procedure, and specimen-source information.
Case tracking workflow
Define operational milestones and exception management from handoff to report delivery.
Centralized reporting
Plan portal or interface delivery for approved clinical and administrative users.
