By integrating with our API, you will have access to the following testing modalities:

  • At-home test kit.
  • At-home phlebotomy visit.
  • Walk-in test visit.

At-home test kits

This involves sending a kit to a patient’s home. They will then be able to collect their sample specimen and send it back to our lab networks via mail.

At home testing kits are comprised of a number of components such as:

  • Mailer Box
  • Blade Lancets
  • Plasters
  • Gauze
  • ADX Card
  • Blood collection card
  • Saliva Tubes
  • Collection Supplies
  • Instruction Booklet

Additional components can be included in the test kit box. To fully customize the kit, just contact us support@tryvital.io.

At-home phlebotomy

At-home phlebotomy requires a phlebotomist to visit a patient’s home and carrying out the phlebotomy draw. The sample is then delivered to the lab by the phlebotomist.

The flow for at-home phlebotomy orders is as follows:

  • Place an order via the API.
  • The order is processed in the background. For at-home phlebotomy, this means generating the requisition form for the lab test.
  • Once the requisition form is ready, a webhook update and an email to the patient are sent. The email will them know that they can now book an appointment.
  • The patient goes through Vital’s appointment booking dashboard, where they can select a location and time from the available slots.
  • Once the appointment takes place and the sample is drawn, it will be taken to the lab.
  • Once the lab analyzes the results, the order is complete and the results can be fetched.

Walk-in tests

Walk-in tests require the patient to visit a lab location (often referred to as a Patient Service Center or PSC)—such as Quest, Labcorp, or BioReference—to have their sample collected. A requisition form is needed to perform the test, which Junction’s API generates if the patient meets the required conditions.

This workflow closely mirrors the at-home phlebotomy flow, except that appointment scheduling is not required. With a “walk-in” test, a patient can simply walk in to a PSC or they can schedule an appointment (Quest only).

Expanded support for on-site or in-clinic draws coming soon!
