LabelTrace refer a practice scheme (116 KB)
A real time saver for general practices - No more handwriting!
With an installed base of over 25,000 users LabelTrace is a proven and affordable way to slash the time doctors, nurses and administration staff spend writing out patients' details on forms and labels. As our case studies show the time taken to complete the request form and label the specimens can be reduced by 80% and appointment time slots can be shortened by 45%.
LabelTrace not only saves time, it improves data quality, with patients clearly identified in accordance with NPSA guidelines and local lab requirements.
With a busy phlebotomist able to save 6 hours per week LabelTrace can pay for itself in under 6 months, then continue to deliver savings for years to come.
LabelTrace can be used for other labelling requirements throughout the practice. The software is installed in minutes and is simple to use. Training takes just a few minutes.
Compatible with all major GP clinical systems
LabelTrace is fully accredited and compatible for use with all major GP systems including EMIS LV, PCS & Web, INPS Vision (including VES), iSOFT and TPP SystmOne
The labels
The labels have a vertical central perforation so they can be split to attach to tubes, or stay whole to stick to a request form. The dimensions have been carefully designed so that they are big enough for clear identification, whilst remaining small to allow visible inspection of the sample and enough room for the lab to attach its own process label.
With millions of labels passing through labs every year you can be confident they are fully compatible with lab processes and will not come off.
The labels have a thermally sensitive coating, which means the printer requires no ink or ribbon.
LabelTrace is supplied with some initial label layouts including a design agreed with the lab to which you send your requests. LabelTrace can also be used for ECG requests, private referral forms, swab samples, patient self-assessment forms, patient mailing labels, practice mailing labels and lesion records.

PLEASE NOTE: ISSUES WITH NON-LABELTRACE REQUESTING LABELS
We have recently been made aware of some labs experiencing issues with tube labels during sample processing, particularly in Cytology. THESE ISSUES HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY INFERIOR COMPATIBLE LABELS NOT SUPPLIED BY US. Over the last few years we have supplied millions of labels without causing problems at the labs. Use of inferior labels damages our reputation and causes problems for the whole LabelTrace community. We strongly recommend and request you always use authentic LabelTrace labels supplied by Codegate.
Label printers
LabelTrace software supports a number of different Label Printers including the Brother QL-570 and Zebra 2824, the two printer options Codegate now supply and support as part of the LabelTrace bundled package.

Installation
LabelTrace is quite straight forward to install, however there are differences in the way it integrates with each clinical system. Therefore we strongly recommend you use our cost effective installation service. Typically it takes two or three hours depending upon the number of printers required.
LabelTrace training is minimal and can be done in just a few minutes.
