Why Chain of Custody Matters in Medical Transport

Chain of custody in medical courier services refers to the documented and controlled process used to track medical specimens, samples, and sensitive healthcare materials from the moment of pickup through final delivery.

For healthcare providers, proper chain of custody is critical for patient safety, diagnostic accuracy, and regulatory compliance.

• Compromised test results
• Delays in diagnosis or treatment
