Scheduled Medical Delivery Routes Work For You
Ever seen one of those “How Stuff Works” specials on TV? You’ll learn a lot. Like how to can soda. Or how to spin saltwater taffy. Important things, of course. Well, consider this Eagle blog a “how to” for your medical delivery routes.
Medical delivery routes are common logistics process utilized by doctor’s offices, labs, and other healthcare operators to ensure timely, dependable deliveries of their supplies, specimens, and other healthcare related items.
How do medical delivery routes work for you? Let’s start with how they work:
You define the cargo.
What are you moving? That’s one of the most important questions we’ll ask when you call to schedule your medical delivery. Eagle Express has experience moving all kinds of healthcare and medical cargo, including:
Blood samples
Specimens
Patient records
Office furniture
And live organs
We’ll find the right vehicle.
Once we know what we’re delivering, together, we’ll decide how to move it. It’s this point in the process that we’ll decide on any specialized care that comes with your delivery. While all medical cargo is specialized, some items are more particular than others. For example, patient files will require HIPAA certified drivers, but they won’t require specific temperature control, as pharmaceuticals or specimens will.
With temperature controlled sedans, vans, and trucks, your refrigerated and frozen medical deliveries will have the right ride. If your cargo is oversized, like office furniture, for example, we have you covered with lift equipped straight trucks. It should go without saying that no matter what vehicle is selected to move your cargo, you can bet that it’s properly sanitized and maintained in accordance to federal standards as well as the high standards we hold for cleanliness at Eagle Express.
Together, we set up a schedule.
The purpose of medical delivery routes is to create a schedule that suits your organization’s needs so you can focus on serving patients while we work out the logistics. You’ll help us understand how frequently you need pick ups and deliveries, as well as the locations where your cargo is going to and from. With just a few pieces of information, we’ll create a schedule that works for you…and keeps working. We’ll stick to that schedule as long as it works for you. Need to make adjustments? We’re here 24/7, ready to communicate changes, even if we’re already in route.
Trained drivers handle your deliveries.
As professional medical couriers, all our drivers are trained in the areas of HIPAA and OSHA. We understand our responsibilities as the liaison for your providers, and we take federal standards for transporting patient information seriously.
