This involves sending a kit to a patient’s home. They will then be able to collect their sample specimen and send it back to our lab networks via mail.At home testing kits are comprised of a number of components such as:
Mailer Box
Blade Lancets
Plasters
Gauze
ADX Card
Blood collection card
Saliva Tubes
Collection Supplies
Instruction Booklet
Additional components can be included in the test kit box. To fully customize the kit, just contact us support@tryvital.io.
At-home phlebotomy requires a phlebotomist to visit a patient’s home and carrying out the phlebotomy draw. The sample is then delivered to the lab by the phlebotomist.The flow for at-home phlebotomy orders is as follows:
The order is processed in the background. For at-home phlebotomy, this means generating the requisition form for the lab test.
Once the requisition form is ready, a webhook update and an email to the patient are sent. The email will them know that they can now book an appointment.
The patient goes through Vital’s appointment booking dashboard, where they can select a location and time from the available slots.
Once the appointment takes place and the sample is drawn, it will be taken to the lab.
Once the lab analyzes the results, the order is complete and the results can be fetched.
Walk-in tests require the patient to visit a lab location (often referred to as a Patient Service Center or PSC)—such as Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference—to have their sample collected. A requisition form is needed to perform the test, which Junction’s API generates if the patient meets the required conditions.This workflow closely mirrors the at-home phlebotomy flow, except that appointment scheduling is not required. With a “walk-in” test, a patient can simply walk in to a PSC or they can schedule an appointment (Quest only).
On-site collection also require the patient to visit a Patient Service Center closely mirrors the walk-in test flow. Scheduling an appointment is not necessary. On-site collections are currently in beta testing.
Expanded support for on-site or in-clinic draws coming soon!
