Mobile phlebotomy for hospitals
and health systems
Extend outpatient lab collection to homebound, post-discharge, and hard-to-reach patients — with documented specimen logistics, redraw management, and an Epic integration path — instead of building and staffing a mobile phlebotomy program in-house.
Where we fit into a hospital outpatient program
Not a replacement for your outpatient lab — an extension of it, for the patients and scenarios where a clinic visit is the barrier.
Homebound & post-discharge draws
Patients who can't easily return to a hospital outpatient lab — post-surgical, elderly, mobility-limited, or living in rural areas — get labs drawn at home instead of missing follow-up testing or requiring a costly transport visit.
Overflow capacity for outpatient labs
When an outpatient draw station is at capacity or a satellite clinic doesn't have phlebotomy staff on-site, Speedy Sticks fills the gap without the health system hiring, credentialing, and scheduling additional in-house phlebotomists.
Recurring chronic-care monitoring
Anticoagulation (INR), diabetes (HbA1c), transplant, and oncology patients often need frequent labs between hospital visits. Recurring at-home draw programs reduce the no-show rate that comes with asking patients to keep making clinic trips.
Population health & readmission-reduction programs
Home-based specimen collection supports care-management and readmission-reduction initiatives by making it easier for discharged patients to complete the labs their care team actually needs to see.
What to ask before an RFP — answered directly
Hospital procurement teams typically evaluate mobile phlebotomy vendors on the same seven criteria. Here is where Speedy Sticks stands on each one.
EHR / LIS integration
Speedy Sticks is an approved Epic partner with a signed integration agreement, and we are actively building Epic EHR integrations with a health-system client so orders, results, and specimen status can move inside the systems clinical teams already use. For health systems not yet ready for a direct EHR build, we support structured order intake, status updates, and result-routing workflows that your team can operate today while an integration is scoped.
Specimen logistics
Every visit follows a documented chain-of-custody process: correct tube selection and order of draw, appropriate cold-chain or ambient handling per specimen type, and routing to the lab your program specifies — Quest, Labcorp, your health system's reference lab, or a specialty lab. Redraws are tracked and managed under the same SOP as the original visit, not handled ad hoc.
Coverage density, not just "nationwide"
We operate across all 50 states, but coverage density varies by market like any mobile-collection network. Before a program launch, we map actual phlebotomist density against your patient population's ZIP codes so you know real service-area coverage — not just a national footprint claim.
Patient mix support
Certified phlebotomists (ASCP, AMT, or NHA) are trained for difficult venous access, pediatric and geriatric patients, and therapeutic phlebotomy — the patient mix that homebound and post-discharge hospital programs typically involve, not just routine healthy-adult draws.
Compliance
HIPAA-aligned workflows, background-checked and credentialed collectors, sharps-compliant handling, and documentation aligned to state mobile-collection rules are the baseline for every visit under our SpeedySafe protocol — the same standard applied across our clinical trial and long-term-care programs.
Program management
Enterprise programs get a single point of coordination for scheduling, escalation, and reporting rather than a call-center queue — so care-management and discharge-planning teams have one contact for status, not a ticket system.
Economics
Pricing is scoped per program based on visit volume, geography, and service type (routine draw, therapeutic phlebotomy, recurring monitoring). Tell us your expected visit volume and patient geography and we'll put together program-specific pricing rather than a generic per-draw rate card.
SpeedySafe Protocol — applied to every hospital-program visit
ASCP/AMT/NHA-certified collectors, background-checked, HIPAA-compliant, sharps-compliant. Chain-of-custody documentation is the baseline standard, not an optional add-on.
Hospital & health-system questions
Can Speedy Sticks integrate with our hospital's EHR?
We are an approved Epic partner with a signed integration agreement and are actively building Epic EHR integrations with a health-system client, so orders, results, and specimen status can flow inside Epic. Integration scope and timeline are project-based and scoped per organization — talk to us about your Epic environment and we'll map the workflow to your build.
How does Speedy Sticks handle specimen logistics for hospital outpatient programs?
Every visit follows a documented chain-of-custody process — correct tube selection, order of draw, and cold-chain or ambient handling appropriate to the specimen — with routing to the lab your program specifies. Redraws are tracked and managed under the same SOP as the original visit.
What is Speedy Sticks' actual coverage for a hospital's patient population?
We operate across all 50 states, but before any program launch we map phlebotomist density against your patient population's actual ZIP codes so you see real service-area coverage rather than a general nationwide claim.
Can Speedy Sticks support homebound, elderly, or difficult-access patients?
Yes. Certified phlebotomists are trained for difficult venous access and for pediatric, geriatric, and therapeutic-phlebotomy patients — the patient mix typical of homebound and post-discharge hospital programs.
How does a hospital or health system start a program with Speedy Sticks?
Share your expected patient population, geography, visit types, and any EHR or LIS integration requirements with our clinical programs team. We scope coverage density, pricing, and (where applicable) Epic integration timeline before the first patient visit.
