The Pacific Northwest is a leading health care center, with considerable concentration in health care delivery, biomedical research and applications, and training for doctors and other medical staff.
Medical courier services provide a vital link between hospitals, laboratories, healthcare clinics, and medical providers. They ensure that specimens, lab results, x-rays, and other medical materials are delivered to the correct destination, intact, and on time. Pacific Northwest hospitals and labs rely on these services to ensure that their patients receive the best possible care.
A medical logistics company can benefit the industry in these 5 main ways:
When time is of the essence, courier services can get your items to their destination quickly and efficiently. Whether you need a lab specimen urgently transported across town or across the region, a pharmaceutical delivered in the middle of the night, or critical supplies delivered on a weekend or holiday, courier services can get the job done fast.
Medical logistics specialists have drivers trained and certified in handling hazardous and HIPAA-sensitive items to ensure the safety and security of medical specimens and prove it with a verified chain of custody.
Many hospitals and labs use airlines to transport medical specimens long distances quickly. It is vital to use a courier service with experienced, TSA-certified drivers. These drivers are intimately familiar with the airport, have undergone a background check and certification from the Transportation Security Administration (TSA), and are authorized to perform critical security and safety services at airports.
Medical couriers should utilize the latest technology that produces secure, easily accessible end-to-end chain of custody documentation. The healthcare providers need ready access to shipment information that begins at collection and ends at final delivery.
Medical courier drivers are equipped with proper equipment that ensures that ambient, refrigerated, and frozen specimens move from pickup to drop off at the proper temperature. From pickup to drop off temperature control is critical.
