Challenge
Many clinics who examine specimens for healthcare and research purposes face challenges in keeping stakeholders up to date during the process. Challenges include tracking specimens throughout multi-stage processes and updating stakeholders on progress through those stages. Throughout the specimen sample tracking process, it is important for clinics to communicate effectively with the stakeholders' awaiting results.
Medical labs are often very busy which makes it difficult to manually communicate updates to stakeholders all throughout the process. Using a digital solution will allow medical labs to reduce the challenges that come with the manual process. While also optimizing the whole process.

Steps to Success
- By generating IDs for specimens, no personally identifiable data needs to pair physically with the specimen. This will allow the data to stay secure throughout tracking.
- Tracking forms allow the ID to be submitted to update the ID’s specimen to a stage associated with that form. Submission can occur without needing any other data. Options for bulk ID updating also exist.
- Whenever a specimen hits a new stage, stakeholders can receive notification automatically of new stages. They can even receive information about discoveries so far.
