LABS ARE UNDER PRESSURE TO DO MORE WITH LESS

Healthcare challenges such as increasing consolidation, rising costs, reimbursement cuts and staff shortages are having a direct impact on labs. At the same time, molecular labs want to enhance their operational productivity to further solidify their positions as trusted healthcare partners.

TO ACHIEVE THESE GOALS, LABS NEED TO DRIVE IMPROVEMENTS IN KEY AREAS:

anility image

IMPROVE SPEED AND PREDICTABILITY

Lab schedule efficiencies are often impacted by batch instrument limitations (need for batching and sorting samples).
streamline workflow image

STREAMLINE WORKFLOW

Four to six platforms are often needed for routine PCR testing, causing inefficiencies and requiring more staff training and broader knowledge.

BETTER UTILIZE TIME OF HIGHLY SKILLED WORKERS

Highly skilled staff spend hours each day on tedious tasks.

CENTRALIZE DATA AND IMPROVE DATA UTILIZATION

Data is not easily or effectively used to optimize performance.

TURNING CHALLENGES INTO OPPORTUNITIES

ALINITY m DRIVES TRANSFORMATION OF THE LAB THROUGH:
  • ReadiFlex Technology – Abbott’s proprietary technology for true random access (accomplished without compromising turnaround time or throughput)
  • Universal sample rack – no sample sorting to simplify front end workflow
  • 75 opportunities in ~8 hours to start a new assay – including STAT samples
  • Time to first result <115 min
  • 300 results in ~ 8 hours
  • Up to 20 assays on-board at any one time.
