Pathology

A collection room that works for patients and the practice.

A pathology collector on site is a convenience your patients notice and a commercial arrangement most practices never negotiate properly — or negotiate without knowing the rules. We set up the room, structure the agreement to comply, and integrate ordering, results and secure messaging so results land in the doctor’s inbox, not the fax tray.

We have decision-maker level relationships at 4Cyte Pathology and Melbourne Pathology, built over fifteen years of running practices they collect from.

What we cover

  • Collection room or co-located centre setup
  • Pathology agreement — negotiated and structured to comply
  • Electronic ordering & results in Best Practice / Medical Director
  • Secure messaging and result-handling workflow
  • Radiology referral and results integration
  • Doctor and nurse ordering templates
  • Review of existing arrangements when a practice changes hands
Medical supplies

Stop paying list price. Stop running out.

Consumables quietly eat a practice’s margin — and a nurse who runs out of vaccine syringes on a Tuesday costs more than any discount saves.

01

Invoice review

Twelve months of consumables and equipment invoices analysed — what you buy, what it costs, what nobody uses.

02

Standard order list

One list matched to your rooms, doctors and services, with par levels so reordering is a routine, not a scramble.

03

Partner pricing

Purchasing moved to YesMed at the pricing negotiated for our clients. Account set up and supported by us.

04

Reorder routine

A simple weekly check for reception or the nurse, with stock and equipment registers that double as accreditation evidence.

Why it adds up

The savings are small per item and large per year.

01

Lower cost per item

Group pricing beats single-practice list pricing on the items you buy every week — gloves, swabs, syringes, paper, disinfectant.

02

Fewer emergency orders

Par levels and a routine end the express-freight orders and the trip to the chemist.

03

Less waste

Standardised lists stop the duplicate products, expired stock and equipment bought twice.

04

Evidence for accreditation

Stock and equipment registers, cold-chain stock records and maintenance schedules maintained as part of the routine.

Common questions

Questions practice owners actually ask.

How does a pathology collection room work for a practice?

A pathology provider places a collector in a room at your practice, or co-locates a collection centre, under an agreement that covers the space, the hours and the arrangements between the parties. Done well it is a service for your patients and a sensible commercial arrangement for the practice. We handle the room, the agreement and the integration.

Which pathology providers do you work with?

4Cyte Pathology and Melbourne Pathology, with decision-maker level relationships at both. We set up the collection room or centre, the agreement, and the electronic ordering, results and secure messaging integration in Best Practice or Medical Director.

Are there rules about pathology arrangements?

Yes. Arrangements between practices and pathology providers are regulated, including rules about rent for collection rooms. We structure agreements to comply and we recommend your lawyer reviews the final document — we are operators, not lawyers.

How does the supplies optimisation work?

We review twelve months of consumables and equipment invoices, standardise the order list to what the practice actually uses, set par levels and a reorder routine for reception or the nurse, and move purchasing to YesMed at the pricing we have negotiated for our clients. Most practices find they were paying list price for items they could buy for less, and ordering things nobody used.

Do we have to buy through your partner?

No. The order list, par levels and routine work with any supplier. Our clients buy through YesMed because the pricing is better than a single practice gets on its own, and because the account is set up and supported by us.
