Real-time monitoring: Do you really know what happens to each sample?
Blindness after screening
After collection and the initial processes, many labs mentally agree that "then it's just the flow." But what if you don't know where each sample is at each stage? Daily reports arrive late, and deviations go unnoticed until they become bigger problems.
What are the main pain points in post-screening monitoring?
- Limited visibility into the status of each sample
Without continuous updates, managers rely on static spreadsheets that quickly lose accuracy. - Late notifications of delays
Alerts sent only in consolidated reports, preventing immediate reaction to bottlenecks. - Lack of custom metrics
SLA deadlines, processing time, and specific bottlenecks are not easily adjustable to the laboratory's needs.
What are the operational impacts of poor monitoring?
- Loss of customer trust
Doctors and patients demand accurate information about deadlines that are not met. - Compromised SLA targets
Without a clear vision, agreed deadlines slip and result in penalties or rework. - Difficulty in audits and compliance
Lack of detailed and immediate history makes it difficult to prove traceability and regulatory compliance.
