The COVID-19 pandemic restrictions have put additional pressure on pathology labs and diagnostic centers. As people avoid visiting crowded places and waiting in long queues, there has been an increase in demand for mobile phlebotomists. Even before the pandemic, people would avail online sample collection services.
Here’s how Dista Service streamlines orchestration of phlebotomists for online blood sample collection.
What is Mobile Phlebotomy?
Mobile phlebotomy is a service when a professional phlebotomist visits patients’ home to collect blood samples and takes them to the lab for analysis. They label, organize, and deliver samples to the labs for analysis.
