Healthcare Innovation: Mobile Phlebotomy Services

Healthcare has vastly improved using advance technology. From complex surgical procedures to simple steps as drawing blood, has been innovated to make easier to conduct.

One such innovation is the idea of mobile labs. Mobile phlebotomy, in particular, has made it easier for people to get routine and specialized blood tests done without needing to travel.

According to American Red Cross, every two seconds, someone in the U.S. needs blood. All of this blood first gets screened for common infections as well as blood markers.

What if a blood collection center or a hospital can test a specimen before requiring a donor to travel all the way to the lab to donate blood? This is just one instance where individual patients, as well as health institutions, benefit from mobile phlebotomy service.

The advent of mobile phlebotomy

These services were introduced with the idea of taking the lab to the patient. In many cases, patients are home-bound or unable to travel to a testing laboratory for various reasons. As they say, necessity is the mother of invention…

The idea is rather simple. These mobile labs are equipped with facilities as well as trained phlebotomists.

When service is requested for withdrawing blood by a patient, institution, or a company, the mobile lab is transported on site.

This means that blood can be collected anywhere a patient is residing, including their home, nursing center, assisted living house and other care centers.

The specimen is then stored appropriately, and transported to the lab where testing has to be performed. This provides a suitable alternative to patients who can’t reach the lab for any reason.

This is especially useful when routine monitoring is required; for instance, in case of serious diseases like cancer and diabetes.
