There’s a reason why 97 percent of our clients gave AIT Laboratories a customer service rating of “good” or “excellent” in our last client satisfaction survey: AIT offers a complete package when it comes to compliance monitoring services. Our understanding of the needs of our physicians and their patient safety is why AIT continually offers the best service in the industry.
Why should you use AIT’s DetectiMed® Panel to monitor patient compliance?
With a strong scientific foundation, expert chemists, and our credibility in forensic toxicology, you can rest assured that AIT will detect the smallest presence or absence of a drug to provide accurate information needed to guide an effective treatment plan. Because AIT is a forensic toxicology laboratory specializing in compliance monitoring, we hold prestigious accreditations that speak to both industries. Our processes are backed by the College of American Pathologists (CAP), American Board of Forensic Toxicology (ABFT), Clinical Laboratory Improvement Amendments (CLIA), and ISO 9001:2008 quality management standards. In addition, all specimens sent to our lab are screened and confirmed using state-of-the-art instrumentation.
AIT understands the importance of security in providing accurate test results. It is important to know that each sample being tested belongs to the correct patient. With our strict chain of custody and adherence to the prestigious CAP and ABFT guidelines, each sample is secure and traceable throughout the laboratory analysis process. AIT utilizes a Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) to provide an extra dimension of security by creating a unique processing number for each sample as it is received and scanned into our system. This unique number is utilized as the only identifier throughout the remainder of the analytical process, allowing patient information to remain confidential. Furthermore, AIT provides secure online access to test results through our secure client portal.
It is extremely important to find a laboratory you can trust with confidential information due to HIPAA regulations. AIT believes in developing a partnership with each of our clients in order to provide the highest level of service, especially when it comes to patient information. Each sample is assigned a unique specimen identification number when it is received at the laboratory, ensuring sample anonymity throughout the testing process. The test results are only released to the healthcare provider, which he/she can discuss in private with the patient.
AIT has 20 years of experience in forensic toxicology. With more than 100 years of combined experience in toxicology and related fields, available Ph.D. toxicologists stand ready to consult with you on specimen collection, drug interaction, and interpretation of test results. You can find our toxicologists’ published scientific articles in the following peer-reviewed journals:
At AIT, we realize the importance of obtaining the information you need without creating a financial burden for your patients. A service performed in order to maintain patient safety should not have to be avoided due to cost. AIT employs a specialized billing team in-house that can work with patients to create payment plans that meet their financial needs.
Since patient care is of the utmost importance to you as a provider, it is also one of our primary concerns. We take pride in our quick turnaround time to provide you with accurate test results and information for you to make precise decisions for your patients and your practice. Our main goal is to give you the peace of mind you seek by employing a compliance monitoring program. Our services include:
These services allow you to focus your attention where it matters most: your patients.
AIT continually seeks to improve our methods in toxicological analysis, identification of potential drug interactions, most common drugs of abuse, trends in diversion, and testing procedures.
