It includes patient preparation, sample collection, labeling, transportation, and handling.

Proper identification and documentation are critical to avoid errors.

• The patient visits a healthcare provider, which in turn orders him to take certain tests.
• The samples (like blood, urine, etc.) are collected by the laboratory worker or the healthcare worker with proper labeling marks, QR code or any other technique to mark different samples.
• The samples are then safely transported to the lab for scientific analysis, ensuring contamination-free or damage-free handling. They are properly stored in a technologically controlled environment for real-time tracking.

This phase includes actual testing and analysis of all the samples collected.

Lab Technicians and experts analyze the samples using various scientific instruments and methods on established protocols and standards.

Quality control checks ensure accurate results.

• Samples are divided into small, orderly batches with e-labeling. The sample is selected and tested using globally set compliance standards and precision marks.
• Regular quality control methods are applied to check the reliability of testing standards and tested samples.

This phase integrates reviewing, validating, and recording results.

If found necessary, retesting or verifying data also happens. Finally, the reports are prepared and delivered to the physician or the concerned patient.

• Data Validation happens after the test when lab technicians review and validate the data to ensure the results obtained are accurate.
• The validated test results are then recorded, and reports are generated.
• The results are compiled into a detailed report, interpreted, and communicated to the healthcare provider, enabling timely diagnosis and medical treatment decisions.
• Follow-up actions such as result re-evaluation, consultation with specialists, or additional testing may occur.
