Ipsum Diagnostics' interview with WSB-TV was recently featured on MSN. While the interview is a few months old, the news is still very relevant especially now as we gear up towards the holidays. Our team is proud to be working on the front lines and serving our community! https://www.msn.com//nurse-and-lab-tech-shorta/vi-BB1bevKi

This Wednesday, our Chief Medical Officer Dr. Steven Marlowe has a #funfact to share about the history behind germs. #staysafe

We are so thankful for our patients and we want them to love the care they receive. We are happy to share this message from one of our patients. #medicallab #COVID19 #testing

What does it mean when labs have backlogs? Backlogs occur for a variety of reasons, supply chain problems, demand during surges, transport service delays and equipment issues. Ipsum Diagnostics takes seriously our responsibility to report laboratory patient results promptly and on-time. We have reported results of approximately 697,364+ #COVID19 molecular diagnostic tests to our patients and providers with an average turnaround time of 24 hours. At Ipsum, we are proud to have a system that avoids backlogs, allowing us to process specimens as soon as we receive them. #medicallab #atlantalocalbusiness

In preparation for Thanksgiving, the CDC has shared a few tips and guidelines to make this holiday safer for both you and your family. See the link below for more information to safely celebrate the holiday. https://www.cdc.gov//daily-life/holidays/thanksgiving.html

Why use a PCR, or Polymerase Chain Reaction, test instead of other forms of testing? Our PCR technique extracts genetic material (DNA or RNA) from the organism causing the infection. This allows us to identify the infection causing organism quickly and accurately for proper diagnosis and targeted treatment. Using the correct treatment the first time, allows for early intervention and can reduce unnecessary testing and treatments that may not be as effective. #medicallab #atlantalocalbusiness

We love helping and hearing from our patients. We take our job of reporting our patients' results as quickly and accurately as possible, very seriously. We are here to help our communities return to a sense of normalcy, amidst this pandemic. #medicallab #localbusiness #COVID19

Ipsum Diagnostics is a full-service lab that offers more than #COVID testing. Our lab can run various types of molecular tests using PCR techniques to identify infections, including women’s health and dermatopathology tests for your practice’s unique needs.

We love hearing from our patients. We take our responsibility of reporting #COVID19 results seriously. Your tests and test results are not simply a number: we know the results of these tests can reunite families, allow individuals to return to work and to receive necessary medical treatments. We are happy to share a recent message from one of our patients about their experience with our COVID-19 testing.

Our entire team would like to thank all of Georgia's public health professionals and their families for all they do for us! These heroes often go unnoticed and uncelebrated. They are working around the clock to help our counties, state and country fight the #COVID19 pandemic. They deserve our recognition and deepest gratitude! Thank you so much for everything you do! #Thankyoupublichealth

Heroes can be found in many places, and at Ipsum, our night shift staff members are some of the many heroes on our staff helping fight the #COVID19 pandemic. Like our entire staff, these individuals have been working nonstop since the first wave of the pandemic, and because of their hard work, Ipsum has been able to process and report COVID-19 test results around the clock, 24-7. We want to thank each and every one of you for your hard work!

We have developed workflow solutions that expedite our #COVID #testing process: COVID-19 specimens received at our molecular diagnostic lab are traceable. Using our proprietary specimen labeling system, we are able to track specimens from the patient collection sites and know when it arrives at our lab. Our team knows exactly where a specific individual’s specimen is located. This allows us to share the status of your specimen quickly and accurately. #tech
