Anything to do with handling medical devices, specimens, or documents must be handled with the utmost care. If you run a medical facility with the resources to employ your own couriers, you don’t have to worry about whether or not they are trained properly. However, most medical facilities are not in that position. So when you have to hire medical couriers outside of your organization, how do you know you are getting the best service for your business and your patients?
There are three key things you should look for when hiring medical couriers: reliability, training, and knowledge.
They’re there when you need them.
When hiring a courier of any kind, the first thing you need to know is if they will arrive when you need them. In medicine in particular, many deliveries are time-sensitive, so you can’t wait around for a courier to become available. To ensure you are getting the best service, you need a dedicated fleet service that will always be ready for both your scheduled and emergency deliveries.
They are trained and comply with all necessary agencies.
Compliance and training don’t exist to make people jump through hoops. They play an important role in keeping drivers and patients safe and ensuring the security of your deliveries. At Fleet Couriers, we train our drivers in all areas of HIPAA and bloodborne pathogens. HIPAA ensures that patients’ personal information remains private. Training our drivers regarding bloodborne pathogens keeps everyone safe if a specimen is compromised. To ensure delivery integrity, all our couriers also carry OSHA and DOT-compliant equipment.
They have the knowledge and experience to handle any situation.
Giving our drivers comprehensive training prepares them for any situation that may arise. Their training prepares them to contain spills safely and handle accidents, but it also helps them get your deliveries to you when you need them. Logistics and route planning are essential elements of medical courier services. No matter how carefully we plan, we always have to be ready for the unexpected. Our drivers have the knowledge and experience to work around any disruptions and ensure your deliveries arrive on time.
