LBM Bioesterel in France, Arcispedale S. Maria Nuova in Italy and Friarage Hospital in the United Kingdom are among the first laboratories to install the Atellica® Solution1 immunoassay and clinical chemistry analyzers. The trending motivators for installing the latest innovation from Siemens Healthineers include the unprecedented flexibility to automate redundant and complex procedures to simplify testing workflows and to grow patient testing capacity. This is expected to enable the laboratories to keep up with rising demands and decreasing reimbursement rates—all in an effort to achieve long-term sustainability in a value-based healthcare delivery model.
"Our company is facing a significant reduction in margins due to lower social security payments," explained Dr. Pierre-Antoine Flé, Associate Director at LBM Bioesterel in France. "In order to limit this impact while increasing our production capacity, our company has chosen the Atellica Solution, which responds particularly to our future needs."
The Atellica Solution enables healthcare facilities to achieve better outcomes at lower costs by transforming care delivery in the laboratory. With the flexibility to combine up to 10 components into more than 300 customizable configurations, to operate either as a standalone system or connected to Aptio® Automation and to integrate seamlessly with other disciplines in a total laboratory solution, the Atellica Solution offers scalability for long-term growth.
LBM Bioesterel anticipates it will be able to redeploy up to 30 percent of its staff.2 This is because of the ability to manage the configuration with a single operator and because of features such as automatic quality control (QC) and calibration with on-board refrigeration in the Atellica® Sample Handler—an integrated component of the Atellica Solution. Laboratories can program the Atellica Solution to automatically deploy the right materials at the right time to specific analyzers to perform QC and calibration without operator intervention. This function significantly streamlines otherwise complex procedural workflows and lessens hands-on time for the operator, while eliminating unnecessary waste and decreasing the potential for human error.
Friarage Hospital in the United Kingdom, a member of the South Tees Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, was drawn to automatic QC and calibration and to other proactive features designed to increase efficiency in the lab.
