CHAIN OF CUSTODY BUSINESS FORM WITH AUTOMATED WIRELESS DATA LOGGING FEATURE

A chain of custody form with an associated wireless (e.g., RFID) chip results in data being monitored and filed electronically, minimizes the need for a multi-part form and results in reduced consumable costs to the customer. Samples are no longer lost in transit or within a testing laboratory, as the RFID chip allows for complete tracking of the specimen. Positive location identification is always available. All data may be tracked using the RFID chip which may prompt the collector or other custodian to correctly enter data. The chain of custody is always accurate and is never broken. All data may be shared with all parties electronically including, for example, an employer, a collection site, a medical review officer, a third party administrator, etc. No re-keying of the information is necessary, eliminating multiple steps, reducing the potential for error, and providing increased efficiencies and decreased processing time at reduced costs.
