Why Choose A Path Lab with Direct Physician Access
Timely and accurate diagnoses are critical for the effective treatment of health conditions. Often, the most important part of obtaining a definitive diagnosis is pathology or cytology. The results obtained by experienced pathologists are critical, often influencing the treatment choices physicians make for their patients. In many cases, especially complex ones, the diagnosis isn’t straightforward, and the physician and pathologist must collaborate to achieve the best outcome. Below are the reasons to choose a path lab with direct physician access.
At Pathology Reference Laboratory, our pathologists are available to speak directly with physicians about their cases.
Easy Access to Pathologists for Consultations
In many pathology labs, samples are received and processed, and results are relayed to the physicians with little communication. However, questions can arise, clarifications might be needed, or complex cases require more discussion. Direct access to pathologists ensures that any needs can be addressed immediately. Physicians can consult pathologists to understand the nuances of the pathologists’ interpretation of the results, enabling them to give the best possible care to their patients.
24/7 Dedicated Executive Account Representatives
Pathology doesn’t follow a 9 to 5 schedule, nor should communication between the lab and healthcare providers. The availability of dedicated executive account representatives around the clock ensures that no matter when a question or concern arises, there’s someone available to address it. This continuous availability promotes a smoother workflow for physicians and helps get patients the best care in emergent cases.
Many labs employ ticket systems to handle inquiries or concerns. While this might work for a technical support issue, it’s far from ideal in healthcare’s high-stakes, time-sensitive realm. Ticket systems often can introduce unnecessary delays. Direct communication models, as offered by Pathology Reference Laboratory, sidestep these pitfalls.
Eliminate Delays with Streamlined Communication
In healthcare, time is often of the essence. Inefficiency in communication can delay the initiation of treatment, which can be detrimental to patient outcomes. Streamlined communication channels eliminate such hold-ups. Choosing Pathology Reference Laboratory ensures that your questions are answered promptly, reports are relayed without unnecessary delay, and specialized tests or stains are processed quickly.
Collaborative Approach to Healthcare
Healthcare is best when it’s a collaborative effort. Direct physician access to pathologists fosters this approach, ensuring that physicians are able to determine the most effective diagnostic and treatment plans. It eliminates the silos that often exist in medical fields, providing comprehensive patient care.
