Idea Exchange: Simplify the urine sample process with a urine catch kit
If you're unable to obtain a sample in the clinic, have your client get it at home.
We send owners home with urine catch kits if we were unable to obtain urine at the patient appointment. The kits include a urine catch tray, a pipette and a urine tube marked with the owner's name, the patient's chart number and a paid label-all in a laboratory bag. When the owner collects a urine sample, he or she can drop the sample off at the front desk without having to wait for the chart to be pulled up. All we have to do is fill out the laboratory paperwork and put the sample in the fridge.
