Profile
Riverside Health System is a network of five individual hospitals. The core lab, Riverside Regional Medical Center in Newport News, Virginia, performs 3.5 million tests annually for its 450-bed facility and operates 24/7.
Challenge:
Whether it was labor-intensive management of varied instrumentation, a lack of standardization in processes and decision rules or pending staff reductions due to retirements, challenges amounted for the growing network. Increasing test volumes, largely driven by outpatient business and heightened emphasis on specimen tracking and patient safety, added to the concerns.
Solution:
- Power Processor Sample Handling System
- Two UniCel DxC 800 clinical chemistry analyzers
- Two UniCel DxI 800 immunoassay analyzers
- 3,000-tube stockyard
- REMISOL Advance Middleware
