Lab business case · ROI calculator
What does a mislabeled specimen cost your lab?
Enter your lab’s relabeling volume and costs. Estimate what SampleVerify could save each year by catching patient name and DOB mismatches before specimens reach the chemistry analyzers.
Pre-filled figures are examples, not measured outcomes. Replace them with your lab’s numbers.
Volume
Your lab’s relabeling volume and error rate.
Tubes aliquoted or relabeled in-lab before analysis
From your occurrence reports or rejection log
Assumed share of errors caught before analysis
Cost of each error
The financial impact of a mislabeled specimen.
Redraw, repeat testing, reagents, staff time
Share that would have produced a wrong-patient result
Investigation, rework, treatment impact, liability
Staff time
Time saved at the bench, valued at your loaded rate.
Versus a manual two-person or visual check
Wage plus benefits
SampleVerify
Your total annual investment.
License, support, and IT time — not a plan quote
Estimates only. Results depend on the figures entered; validate them against your lab’s occurrence data before presenting to leadership. Avoid overlapping cost categories: wrong-patient result cost is additional to recollection cost. Staff time represents capacity released, not necessarily a reduction in spending.
Annual volume = monthly volume × 12. Errors caught = annual volume × errors per 1,000 ÷ 1,000 × catch rate. Gross savings = recollection savings + wrong-patient savings + staff time value. ROI = net savings ÷ annual investment. Payback = annual investment ÷ monthly gross savings.
No patient data is saved at any time. SampleVerify fetches data from Epic’s FHIR API, compares, then clears it.
