They now want a faster and convenient medium to order medical tests and get tested.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n And here is where the concept of an online medical lab like Dynacare comes into the picture. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You must have in the past used Walmart self-pickup service where you order online, wait for a \u2018ready for pickup\u2019 message, visit the Walmart store and pick up your \u2018ready\u2019 order. All done within minutes, instead of hours!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n So, ever wondered why Walmart started offering such a service? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Of course to reduce your time at their stores, to save your time and to offer you convenience by eliminating the need for you to roam around Walmart store, pick up every item you want and checkout with it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The online medical lab works the same way.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dynacare is the best example of an online medical lab.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n It allows patients to find the nearest lab with real-time wait time. Patients can virtually check in to the lab to skip the queue. And patients receive lab results on a dedicated mobile app called Dynacare Plus. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As you might already know now, you must need either a mobile app or web app to start an online medical lab and accept lab test orders online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Using this online medium, you will not only offer convenience and speed to your patients but attract more patients as they now prefer to manage their health & wellness through mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, deciding between a mobile app and a web app is a challenging task as it also influences your overall budget dramatically. So, let us share a comparison.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Deciding on a feature set of an online lab app is very important, considering the fact that having purposeful features greatly increases how patients feel and engage in the app.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Following are the top features our business analysts suggest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Features for patients: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Features for labs: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n We understand how important it is to claim a high ROI after a high investment. Thus, let\u2019s discuss its financial benefits.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n It helps you to build a bigger customer base as attracting customers with a mobile app is much easier than a brick-mortar store. You can also gain customers from outside of your locality with no physical boundaries applicable to mobile apps. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A mobile app for the lab works as the best marketing asset. Through your multiple marketing channels, you can direct all target audiences to your mobile app which is already fascinating for people! <\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t believe us, ask your 10 existing customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What makes them happier – online medical test orders with a web check-in feature or waiting in queue for the test? <\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re damn sure that the majority of them would be with option 1 as convenience and speed are what all people choose in 2021! <\/p>\n\n\n\n An online lab app opens up several doors of business opportunities. And we\u2019re here sharing the most profitable one.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n You can tie up with companies and offer them online lab test facilities for their employees. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Building and sustaining such a partnership with companies is easy as companies nowadays are ready to spend huge on the health and wellness of their staff.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Dynacare follows the same business strategies by running the \u2018Dynacare Workplace\u2019 program. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, to run such a corporate partnership program, you must accommodate extra features in your app that enable HR or employers to manage the health and wellness of staff from a single dashboard.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yes, the challenge we\u2019re talking about is healthcare compliance!<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Your online medical lab collects, stores and shares several crucial personal health information of the patients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, as per legislation, data privacy laws apply to you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Talking about data privacy laws, PIPEDA is Canadian federal-level law that applies to you in all cases.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition to this, there are multiple province-specific laws that might apply to you based on where you run your business. For example, if your business terrain is Ontario, PHIPA will apply. If Alberta, HIA will apply.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n These laws outline technical and administrative requirements which you have to adhere to.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, it is worth noting that you must address technical requirements at your mobile\/web app level and administrative requirements at the organizational level.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n If you fail to adhere to these requirements, you would not only put patient data at risk but would also be liable for the hefty fine by privacy commissioners. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Thus, you don\u2019t have any option other than building an online lab app that is compliant with all technical requirements of applicable privacy laws.<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re an Ontario-based healthcare-focused IT company. (Oh! This makes us so proud!)<\/span>\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because being healthcare-specific and serving only the healthcare industry is not a cup of tea for all.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n But it is for us as being specific to healthcare helps us deliver exceptional results to our clients. <\/p>\n\n\n\n With our dedicated healthcare developers, UI\/UX designers, business analysts and compliance specialists, we can build outstanding mobile\/web apps for medical labs.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n Our on-ground understanding of the Canadian and American healthcare systems and challenges facilitate us to build solution-centric products that providers and patients can\u2019t resist using.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n In case you\u2019re wondering, we have worked with several healthcare providers, clinics, hospitals, nursing homes, LTC homes, labs and healthcare startups. <\/p>\n\n\n\n What we are known for is delivering clinical value and peace of mind!<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The time has changed.
