Clinical specimen receipt system using a mobile smart device

摘要

Introduction: In hospitals, with doctors' requests, clinical specimens from patients or from persons doing health checkups are usually sent to the hospital laboratory. However, for more sophisticated tests, the specimens are sent to the reference (or commercial) laboratories. To deliver the specimens to the reference laboratories, the courier system is often utilized. The couriers pick up the specimens from clinics or hospitals, etc along with requisitions of the tests to be done, and they often pick up large numbers of specimens in a short period of time.
