Clinical Laboratory Barcode Specimen Identification and Tracking
Optimizing Laboratory Specimen Handling and Processing for Increased Efficiency
Proper and reliable identification of laboratory specimens and samples is the essential foundation for an efficient and error-free laboratory. SSE Technologies has created an Oracle based system that enables pathology laboratories to streamline and error-proof lab workflow by positively identifying and tracking all specimens, from accessioning to grossing, through staining, checkout, review and archiving.
SSE’s clinical laboratory system provides a reliable and cost-effective means for each and every tissue cassette and slide to be permanently identified with a bar code as it is produced. Labs can utilize efficient “one-off” specimen slide production, identification and processing workflow methods. Tissue samples can be tracked at all points, through preparation, analysis and storage.
A barcoded tissue specimen enables labs to be significantly more efficient with a dramatic reduction in errors. Barcode technology automates many manual processes, improves lab efficiencies, and greatly reduces the chance of error. Barcodes provide clear and reliable identification for tissue samples on cassettes or slides. Scanning these barcodes gives instant, error-free identification and traceability.
SSE’s clinical laboratory system eliminates multiple points of error caused by illegible handwriting, mis-keyed accession numbers, or matching the wrong specimen to the wrong label. Significant labor and cost savings are also realized as the time spent on each case is greatly reduced. Lab technicians spend less time on re-works or worrying about specimen identification errors and more time on quality preparation, diagnostics, results and patient care.

Reduce Testing Identification Errors with SSE Technologies Specimen Identification and Tracking
Barcode and RFID Technologies, including scanners, label printers, handheld mobile computers and software, help labs serve a critical diagnostic role during an infection outbreak in several ways.
Capturing Specimen Data Efficiently and Accurately
Scanning a specimen barcode or RFID label ensures quick, reliable data capture that can aid diagnosis accuracy while maintaining the chain of custody that began at the patient bedside or drive through-testing center.
Enhancing Patient Safety
By eliminating the need for multiple data entries, barcode and RFID label printing and scanning reduce specimen misidentification errors. Also, these processes document the steps taken in specimen handling at any given time, so lab technicians can track specimens when necessary and ensure they are analyzed in a timely manner.
Maximizing Workflow Efficiency, Minimizing Costs
Operational efficiency is a critical aspect of overall performance. Delayed identification of a single specimen can slow down the entire operation., casing multiple diagnosis delays. Our barcode and RFID printing and scanning solutions designed for lab environments help prevent bottlenecks and maintain workflow efficiency by minimizing manual data entry.
