Common Issues with Traditional Laboratory
Nursing Homes come to us experiencing similar issues with their current laboratory solution. They face unpredictable and increasing wait times for STAT labs and even routine send-outs. They may have a lack of responsiveness with service issues. Often their laboratory ordering system is not integrated with their existing EMR software and workflows. From a cost standpoint, many facilities are hit with expensive mark-ups due to the laboratory’s limited testing menu.
Nursing Homes should expect more. Our solutions are feature rich and customized to the needs of the individual facility. Expect options and service which will far surpass your traditional experience with laboratory.

Our test menu is extensive, includes microbiology, which means you won’t be charged unnecessary send-out fees. Finally, the reference laboratory results will synchronize with POC lab results.
INSTALL AN IN-HOUSE STAT LAB
INSTALL AN IN-HOUSE STAT LAB: An In-House Point-of-Care STAT Lab will allow you several advantages over traditional laboratory, including minutes-long turnarounds on most STATs, better infection control by reducing outside phlebotomy traffic, and access to testing vital to treat conditions like Sepsis. The on-site Lab will improve confidence in clinical decision making for time-critical conditions. Training, process management, quality control and oversight is managed by SmartLab Partners.

With SmartLab Partners, Skilled Nursing Facilities get a clinical partner with its laboratory service. We offer a clinical consultancy and analysis to help your facility manage high acuity patients, deliver better treatment of conditions like Sepsis, and overall reduce readmissions to hospitals.
