Revolutionize B2B Sample Collection With MocDoc’s Runnr App
Published by: Preethi
MocDoc’s Runnr mobile/web application is designed to handle the sample collection for B2B clients seamlessly. Handling a B2B sample movement can present multiple challenges. One challenge is the potential for delays and miscommunication, leading to samples not reaching the main lab on time. This can disrupt testing timelines and delay crucial results. Another is the manual nature of the process, which increases the risk of human errors such as misplaced or mislabeled samples. Additionally, coordinating logistics and ensuring proper documentation can be time-consuming and prone to inefficiencies.
Overall, the lack of a streamlined system for sample movement in the B2B context can result in operational challenges, delays, and errors impacting the efficiency and reliability of laboratory processes.
To overcome this, MocDoc has designed an application that is used by Runnr, the person who is responsible for collecting test samples from the partnered lab and submitting the same at the main lab. This application is used in the pre-analytical phase of the sample lifecycle.
Sample collection for B2B clients - workflow
In the process of handling B2B sample movement between the main and partner labs, several steps are involved. Once a partnered lab requests a test with the main lab, a runnr is assigned by the main lab to facilitate the sample collection and transfer. The partner lab generates a "Test Requisition Form" (TRF) that contains all the necessary details of the requested tests. This form, along with the test sample, is then shared with the assigned runnr.
The TRF serves as a crucial document as it outlines the specific tests to be conducted on the collected samples. The identification of the samples is typically done through barcodes that link them to the associated patients, ensuring accurate tracking and traceability.
The assigned runnr is responsible for ensuring the safe and timely delivery of both the TRF and the test sample to the main lab. Upon receiving the samples, the main lab validates and accepts them, carefully verifying the information provided in the TRF. Subsequently, the main lab proceeds to process the samples for the requested tests, following the established protocols and procedures.
Efficient coordination and communication between the partner and main labs, as well as the diligent execution of the sample transfer process by the runnr, are essential to ensuring the smooth flow of samples and accurate testing outcomes.
Benefits of using the Runnr app to handle B2B sample movement
Using the Runnr app, the personnel designated to handle the sample movement between the partnered and the main lab can perform the process effectively, as it is easy to generate and share the TRF, and also to record progress from time to time. Here are a few benefits of using the Runnr app
● The application enables users to generate and submit the TRF online, eliminating the need for manual paperwork and reducing the likelihood of errors such as missing records.
● Barcodes are generated to uniquely identify test samples in relation to patients, streamlining the handling process and ensuring accurate testing. They facilitate the correlation of samples with the correct patients and requested tests, reducing errors.

In critical medical situations, every second counts. Certain patient samples may require immediate attention due to the urgency of the patient's medical condition or specific requirements. To address this, our laboratory model includes the Emergency Sample Priority Listing feature, enabling laboratories to process and dispatch samples on a priority basis.
How It Works:
Billing Stage Integration: The emergency sample process begins at the billing screen. When creating a bill, the billing user can flag a sample as "Emergency" using the Emergency Sample Action button.
Defining Emergency Requirements: The user can: Specify the investigations/tests to be prioritized. Set an emergency turnaround time (TAT) to ensure the tests are processed and results dispatched within a defined timeframe. Provide a reason for the emergency, ensuring clarity and accountability.
Lab Order Screen Priority: Once marked as an emergency, the sample is automatically displayed at the top of the Lab Order Screen, tagged as "Emergency." The reason for the priority is prominently displayed to assist lab technicians and pathologists in recognizing and acting on the urgency.
Benefits:
Improved Patient Care: Ensures that critical tests are processed and results are delivered promptly, aiding in faster medical intervention.
Streamlined Workflow: Lab professionals can quickly identify and prioritize emergency samples without disrupting regular processes.
Transparency: Clear documentation of emergency reasons enhances accountability and communication between billing and lab teams.
By leveraging this feature, laboratories can ensure that life-critical tests receive the attention they deserve, significantly improving patient outcomes.
2. Mark as Not Performed
Not all test orders proceed as planned. There are instances where patients may fail to provide required samples or the submitted samples are inadequate for testing. To handle such scenarios effectively, our system incorporates the Mark as Not Performed feature, allowing laboratories to manage unprocessed investigations seamlessly.
How It Works:
Handling Unprovided or Inadequate Samples: When a patient fails to provide a sample (e.g., a urine sample in a health package) or submits an inadequate sample, the investigation order remains in the lab order screen.
Marking as Not Performed: Lab technicians can: Use the Mark as Not Performed option to indicate that the test is not processed. Define a reason for marking the test as not performed, such as "Sample not provided" or "Sample inadequate."
Moving to Not Performed Order Screen: Once marked, the test is removed from the active lab order screen and shifted to the Not Performed Order Screen for record-keeping.
Reverting the Status: If the patient provides the sample later or resolves the issue, the test can be reverted from the Not Performed Order Screen back to active processing, ensuring flexibility in managing lab orders.
Benefits:
Operational Efficiency: Keeps the active lab order screen clutter-free, allowing lab staff to focus on actionable tasks.
Accurate Record Management: Ensures that every unprocessed investigation is documented with a reason, maintaining transparency.
