The integration and consolidation leads to standardisation in laboratory\u00a0diagnostics with the establishment of uniform test menu, measuring system and test method to\u00a0reduce unnecessary diversity of technology and testing platforms. This allows standardised results\u00a0reporting for better monitoring of patients across the laboratory network. The standardisation of\u00a0measuring systems coupled with multi-site laboratory information system (LIS) enables us to optimise\u00a0the operating procedures thereby improving the overall turnaround time.<\/p>\n<p>Procurement through an\u00a0integrated statewide tender with the sharing of laboratory workload ensures a common price of\u00a0reagents and consumables across all hospitals. Reagent and consumables sharing across the\u00a0network reduces wastage for a more cost-effective solution. Overall, the re-engineering of\u00a0reagents and consumables purchasing through an integrated statewide tender ensure better\u00a0management of laboratory network and improve the laboratory quality performance, TAT and\u00a0cost, which ultimately leads to an improvement in patient care.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Full presentation by Dr. Mohd Jamsani bin Mat Salleh delivered to healthcare and laboratory medicine leaders at the\u00a0Roche Efficiency Days (RED) 2018: REDefining perspectives\u00a0in Guangzhou, China.
