Enhancing Pathology Transport: Leveraging Live Tracking and Data Analysis for Optimized Service Delivery (Confirmed)
Mark will present how the in-house transport team supported a multidisciplinary effort to enhance pathology transport within the Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust region. The project focused on two main objectives:

By implementing a data and analytics function, the transport team was able to:
- Provide a detailed analysis of 3rd party transport activity
- Overlay 3rd party journeys on top of the in-house routes to identify quick wins
- Provide live route tracking.
- Measure the age of patient specimens.
- Deliver system-wide improvements that increased patient access to phlebotomy and improved patient diagnostic outcomes.
