Implementing SpotCheck Plus: Timeline and Checklist for Hospital Labs

A Quick Guide to Getting Started

Hospital labs need fast, reliable, and scalable testing — without the headaches of traditional urine or hair methods. That’s where SpotCheck Plus comes in. 

It’s a dried blood spot (DBS) system that delivers: 

• Results in 24–36 hours 

• 60+ analytes, including alcohol via PEth 

• Simple finger-prick collection (no phlebotomy) 

• Room-temperature storage (up to a year) 

• 
  

8-Week Rollout Plan

Weeks 1–2: Plan your pilot. Identify key programs (behavioral health, transplant, probation) and train staff. Weeks 3–4: Start collecting with the finger-prick kits. Weeks 5–6: Run a pilot group and review turnaround and workflow. Weeks 7–8: Expand across departments, integrate reports, and track ROI.
