Bookings, phlebotomist routes, tube labels and lab handovers.

Manage patient bookings, fasting instructions, phlebotomist routes, bedside tube labels, carrier boxes, lab handovers, recollections and billing in one system. Each visit carries its patient, tests and tubes from the booking call to the released report link, so the desk answers a worried caller from the record. Phlebotomists and runners work from a phone.

  • Test panels, fasting notes, tube colours and each partner laboratory’s rate card entered as your desk uses them today, with the order of draw spelled out
  • Pending bookings and patient files carried across from your spreadsheet before the first morning, with duplicate phone numbers listed for review
  • Panel and tube rule changes handled by our staff whenever a partner laboratory revises its collection manual, with the old rule kept on file for visits already booked

Bookings, phlebotomist routes, labelled tubes and laboratory handovers for home blood collection run in Home Sample Collection Provider Management Software, configured by GullySystem. Every tube carries its patient, tests, draw time and the people who held it, so no one guesses whose blood is in the box. Phlebotomists work from a phone. A repeat draw, a partner rate card and a camp invoice all trace back to one visit.

Where it breaks today

What goes wrong before the software.

Tubes carry the wrong name

A name pencilled on a tube in the van, or later at the depot, drifts away from the patient who gave the blood. Only the laboratory’s rejection reveals the mistake.

Early slots are crowded

Fasting samples are wanted in the same two hours across the same suburbs, so routes drawn from a sheet leave one phlebotomist crossing town twice while another waits idle. Mornings go wrong.

Time and temperature in transit are lost

A carrier box has a cool range and a limit between draw and lab, yet neither is recorded, so a doubtful serum sample cannot be explained to the bench. Trust suffers.

Recollections land on whoever is free

A haemolysed or short tube means a second visit, the call goes to one agent’s phone, and who pays for the repeat draw is argued afterwards. Patients wait twice.

Preparation notes go out unevenly

Fasting hours and medicine-hold instructions differ by test, agents recite them from memory, and some patients open the door unprepared for a lipid profile or a glucose tolerance test.

Partner and camp billing is rebuilt each month

Each laboratory has its own panel rates and each employer its own camp price, and invoices are assembled from message threads and paper count sheets. Disputes follow every cycle.

How it runs

How the work flows through it, step by step.

  1. 1

    Booking

    A patient, a doctor’s clinic or a company books by phone, form or camp list, and the record holds the tests ordered, address, slot, fasting rule and contact. Duplicates are caught early.

  2. 2

    Preparation and route

    The patient receives the preparation note, and the scheduler groups visits by area and slot, then assigns each to a phlebotomist with a morning route. Urgent draws jump the queue.

  3. 3

    Visit and draw

    The phlebotomist confirms identity, draws the sample, fills tubes in the order of draw the panel needs, and sticks the barcode label at the bedside. The draw time is stamped.

  4. 4

    Transport

    Tubes go into a carrier box with a cold pack, and box temperature and pickup times are noted. A runner collects from several phlebotomists, takes the lot to the lab, and gets each handover signed.

  5. 5

    Lab handover

    The lab desk scans each tube in against the batch list, and a clotted, short or unlabelled tube is rejected on the spot while the runner waits. A recollection visit is raised.

  6. 6

    Report and billing

    The released report link is attached to the booking and sent to the patient, while the collection fee, panel price and any camp charge flow to the invoice. Receipts match the visit.

Modules

What is inside.

Every module can be switched on, left out or changed to match how your team already works.

Booking desk

Take bookings from phone, web form, clinic referral or camp list, with patient, address, tests, slot and contact, and catch duplicates by phone number before a second phlebotomist is sent out.

Test catalogue and preparation notes

Hold each panel with its tube types, fasting rule, medicine-hold note and time limit, and send the right preparation note before the visit. A thyroid panel and a glucose tolerance test never share wording.

Route and slot scheduling

Group visits by area and slot, assign phlebotomists, and rebuild the route when an urgent draw or a cancellation changes the morning. Gaps are filled from the waiting list.

Phlebotomist visit app

Confirm identity, record consent and draw time, note tubes and counts, and apply a barcode label at the bedside, all from a phone browser that needs no installation.

Carrier box and transport log

Record box temperature, hours between draw and lab and each runner pickup, with a signature at every handover, so a warm box is flagged before the bench.

Lab handover and scan-in

The lab desk scans tubes against the batch list, flags missing or unlabelled ones, and confirms the batch with the runner standing at the counter. Counts must agree before the runner leaves.

Rejections and recollection

Record the reason a tube was rejected, such as clotted, short or haemolysed, raise a linked recollection visit, and note who bears the cost under your policy.

Partner lab rates and result links

Keep each laboratory’s test list and rates, send batches by partner, and attach the released report link to each booking. Rate cards carry the date they took effect.

Corporate camps

Load an employee list, assign slots, run the day’s collection in the staff canteen or meeting room, and invoice the employer by headcount and panel with a department summary.

Billing and payments

Charge a visit fee, add panel prices, take payment at the door or online, and invoice partners and employers on their own terms. Cash collected by a phlebotomist is reconciled each evening.

Solutions inside

The business modules it is built from.

Each one is also available on its own, or inside a system built for you.

  • Online Booking Portal

    Patients and clinics choose a slot and tests on their own page, and the booking reaches the desk with the fasting note already queued for sending.

  • Appointment Scheduling

    Visits are placed into early fasting slots by area and handed to phlebotomists, and a cancellation frees a slot that the scheduler can refill from the waiting list.

  • Technician Scheduling

    Each phlebotomist is given a morning route that groups nearby addresses, and an urgent draw is slotted into the person closest to the patient’s door.

  • Barcodes and Labels

    A barcode is applied to each tube at the bedside, so scanning it later links the tube to the patient, the draw time and the carrier box.

  • Batch and Serial Tracking

    Tubes travel in numbered batches, and the lab desk scans each against the batch list, so a missing tube is noticed while the runner is still present.

  • Quality Control

    Rejections are recorded with a reason such as clotted, short or haemolysed, which shows which routes and steps produce the most repeat visits.

  • WhatsApp, SMS and Email Notifications

    Fasting and medicine-hold instructions go to the patient before the visit, and the report link is sent once the laboratory releases the result.

  • Invoice Management

    Visit fees and panel prices are combined into invoices for patients, with partner laboratory and employer invoices raised on their own terms and rate cards.

Services

How we would put it in.

Setup, data migration, integrations and anything built on top.

Who uses it

One system, each person sees their part.

For the owner

See visits booked, tubes in transit, rejections by reason, recollections open and fees billed against fees collected, so a weak route or careless draw shows early.

For booking agents

Take bookings, send preparation notes, move visits between slots and answer callers from the visit record, so a worried daughter hears exactly where her father’s tubes are. Calm calls.

For phlebotomists

Open the morning’s route on a phone, confirm identity, label tubes at the bedside and record the draw time, with no pencilled names and no end-of-day paperwork to finish.

For runners and the lab desk

Collect boxes, log temperature, scan tubes at handover and flag a rejected tube while the runner is still standing there with the box.

For billing

Invoice patients, partner laboratories and employers, and match every receipt to its visit so a fee is never collected twice or forgotten.

Reports

The numbers the owner asks for.

  • Visits by area, slot and phlebotomist
  • Tubes rejected by reason and by phlebotomist
  • Draw-to-lab hours and box temperature exceptions
  • Recollections raised, completed and who bore the cost
  • Panel volumes and revenue by partner laboratory
  • Camp collections by employer with headcount and tests
  • Cancellations and no-shows by slot
Good fit

Who this is built for.

  • Services that send phlebotomists to homes for blood and urine sampling, often before sunrise, to patients who must stay fasting until the draw
  • Diagnostic chains that run a home collection arm beside their centres, share one test catalogue between both, and want one rejection report across every route and centre
  • Independent collection agencies working for several partner laboratories, each with its own rate card, tube rules and report format, and each expecting a separate monthly invoice from the agency
  • Providers that run employer health camps and corporate wellness days, with a headcount, a room and a morning to finish
  • Clinics that offer a bedside draw for elderly or housebound patients, send tubes to a partner bench, and want each report link to reach the family on release
Honest answer

When it is not the right choice.

  • A single phlebotomist who takes a few bookings a week can work from a diary and a phone, but a van, a runner and two partner laboratories change that.
  • A laboratory that processes tests in-house will find Pathology Lab Management Software or Diagnostic Centre Management Software closer, because its bench, analysers and reporting sit inside the building.
Made to fit

Adapted to your business before it goes live.

You are not handed a login and left to it. The product is set up around your records, your people and the tools you already use.

Test panels and tube rules

Each partner laboratory’s instructions decide how panels, tube types, order of draw and time limits are keyed in, so the phlebotomist sees the same rules the bench does.

Preparation and consent notes

Your medical staff write the fasting and consent notes, and each note is checked against whatever rules govern your service before it goes live.

Area map and slots

Service areas, slot lengths and the early-morning cut-off follow how your teams already cover the town, including the lanes where a van cannot park.

Bookings and partners migrated

Open bookings, partner lists and rate cards are loaded from your sheet before the first morning on the system. Any record that fails to load is listed for you.

Messages and payments

Reminders, report links and receipts reach patients by text, email or chat, while currency and tax are set to suit the country of operation.

Common questions

Questions owners ask before a demo.

Can one visit send tubes to two laboratories?

Yes. Tests are mapped to a partner, so tubes from one draw can be split into two batches. Each batch has its own handover scan and its own report link.

How are tubes labelled?

The visit screen shows the patient and the tubes the panel needs, and a barcode label is printed or applied there. Scanning it links the tube to the patient and the draw time.

Can we see tubes near their limit?

Yes. A draw-to-lab limit is held against every test, and the transport board lists tubes close to it, so a runner can be redirected before the limit passes.

What happens when a tube is rejected?

The lab desk records the reason, such as clotted or short, and a recollection visit is linked to the first and assigned to a phlebotomist. The cost rule you set is applied.

Are preparation notes sent automatically?

Yes. Every test holds its own note, and the patient receives it before the visit through the channel you choose, in wording that your own medical staff have approved.

Can employers book camps?

Yes. An employer sends a list, slots are assigned, and the day’s collection is invoiced by headcount and panel. A summary by department can be shared with the company.

How is pricing worked out?

The quotation depends on phlebotomist count, partner laboratories and booking channels, and a demo built with your own panel list is shown before any figure is discussed.

Can we take our booking history with us?

Yes. Every visit, tube scan, laboratory handover and invoice can be pulled out as spreadsheet files, and the layout is settled with you before the build starts.

Who maintains panels and rates after launch?

Our staff update panels, tube rules and partner rate cards when you ask. Training for agents, phlebotomists and the lab desk is arranged during implementation, using your own sample visits and your own morning routes.
