Enable Scan Mode in Accession using Barcode Scanner and Receive Samples Faster

Does your Lab has a lot of samples to receive?

Barcode scanning can help you receive sample quickly

Sample accession has always been a time consuming process. To reassure that you have received the right set of samples from collection centre and match them against their details adds more manual task to the whole process. Not to forget, entering barcode values manually increases chances of making errors. As a result, the process requires time and attention.

To automate your lab operations, LiveHealth has introduced a barcode scanning feature that enables you to precisely receive samples faster. And, there are many more added benefits for you with this new feature -

  • Automate your lab process and scan multiple samples at once
  • Reduce manual errors and improve reporting accuracy
  • Shorten TAT and process faster

How do You know the status of the sample collection?

The software auto-updates details on your screen

Right after scanning, you see the status of your samples with their corresponding counts — received, re-scanned or failed. This status helps you take the next action on your samples.

Received: Sample barcode scanned successfully and received.

Re-scanned: Sample has been already received.

Failed: Appears if there is a problem with the barcode or if wrong sample has been collected.

To regenerate barcodes at your centre, you can also click on ‘Print and Receive Samples’ and connect with the printer.

Note: ‘Receive and Print Sample’ only works if PRN is enabled
