What are portable diagnostics?
Diagnostic tests and other medical procedures are processes performed to help doctors and healthcare professionals make diagnoses. Such procedures can include x-rays, ultrasounds, and lab work. Portable diagnostics is the ability to bring the equipment and technicians required for these procedures directly to a care facility or a patient at home.
X-ray and lab work can thus be performed virtually anywhere, making it a nimble option for healthcare providers.
What are the benefits of portable diagnostics?
There are several reasons portable diagnostics make sense for long-term care facilities, skilled nursing facilities, and home health agencies.
- Streamlined Operations. For healthcare providers, having an exclusive x-ray and lab company reduces administrative hurdles.
- Reduced Cost. Care facilities and agencies can skip investing in expensive lab equipment and additional staff by enlisting the assistance of a mobile lab and x-ray company.
- Extended Reach. Often, patients are in their homes and unable to travel easily to receive care and diagnostic testing. With portable diagnostics, the technician can come directly to them to perform the work needed.
- Quick Results. Often, results are received within hours, giving care providers and patients the information they need in a timely manner.
- Shorter Wait Times. Because portable diagnostic companies can easily travel to where they are needed, there is less “red tape,” enabling tests to be administered efficiently.
