Laboratory testing demands flexibility in an increasingly complex healthcare landscape. When your primary laboratory encounters unexpected challenges, having a strategic backup plan isn’t just a luxury—it’s a necessity for maintaining consistent, high-quality diagnostic services. Moreover, working with more than one laboratory allows you to load balance tests to get the fastest results during busy periods, such as Christmas.

The Path to Seamless Lab Flexibility

Implementing a multi-laboratory strategy might seem daunting, but with the right approach, you can transform your testing programme quickly and effectively. Hurdle’s platform is designed to simplify this process, providing a clear roadmap to operational resilience.

4 Key Steps to Lab Flexibility

1. Integration

Work with Hurdle to integrate your testing needs. Choose between our ready-to-use testing panels or develop bespoke solutions that match your specific diagnostic requirements. Our platform seamlessly connects with your existing systems, making the transition smooth and straightforward.

2. Laboratory Selection

Not all laboratories are created equal. Our team helps you build a strategic laboratory network. We assess laboratories based on capabilities, geographical reach, and performance standards, ensuring you have a robust backup system that meets your exact specifications.

3. Routing Preferences

Configure your laboratory distribution with precision. Set test allocation percentages across different laboratories, designate a primary laboratory, and establish quick switchover protocols. This approach gives you the flexibility to maintain consistent testing even when challenges arise.

4. Seamless Testing

Once configured, our platform handles the complexity. Automatic sample routing, standardised data collection, and consistent quality control mean you can continue testing as usual—without the administrative burden of managing multiple laboratory relationships.
