For years, the role of the medical laboratories has been strongly influenced by economic and new technological pressures. Essentially, laboratories influence the effectiveness of patient management in relation to clinical outcome, even though they are minor players on the healthcare market with regards to budgets. The importance and positive impact of laboratory medicine will only be maximised by adding full value to laboratory tests – and thereby reflecting their possible effectiveness in influencing patient management and related clinical outcomes.
All medical disciplines require individual laboratory testing and support for fast and efficient diagnoses and therapy monitoring. For this reason, laboratories must have broad knowledge and a good overview of the latest technology if they are to address the full spectrum of activities with the benefits and the economic impact that laboratory medicine can provide to clinicians, or the healthcare system as a whole.
Recently, many new diagnostic techniques and laboratory tests have been introduced thanks to both research into the fundamental pathogenesis of diseases and the development of new methods. Yet ongoing limitations of healthcare budgets underpinned by growing demands on daily laboratory routine have to be addressed to the laboratory management.
Sysmex understands the bigger picture. As such, we approach laboratory solutions from a holistic perspective. Our individual consultancy services align clinical demands to existing pathologies using the latest technology in a consistent manner. The aim is a 24/7 optimised workflow from sample entry to sample archiving, including professional result management.
