Asian Hospital, Faridabad has become the first healthcare facility in the city to implement Total Lab Automation (TLA), in collaboration with global diagnostics leader QuidelOrtho. Powered by the advanced Vitros Automation Solution, this cutting-edge system marks a major leap forward in diagnostic testing, offering patients quicker and more precise results.
Faster Turnaround Times for Critical Care
With the introduction of TLA, the hospital has revolutionized its laboratory operations. Automated testing now significantly shortens turnaround times, enabling doctors to access results promptly—crucial in emergency and critical care settings. “This transformation enhances diagnosis and treatment speed, leading to improved patient outcomes,” said Dr. N K Pandey, Chairman and Managing Director of Asian Hospital.
Eco-Friendly Dry Chemistry Technology
The TLA system utilizes dry chemistry, eliminating the need for lab-grade water. This innovation not only prevents water-based contamination but also delivers consistent and highly accurate results. Moreover, the technology supports sustainability by conserving millions of litres of water annually and reducing electricity consumption. “It’s a step toward both medical and environmental excellence,” added Dr. Pandey.
Championing Patient-Centric Care
Dr. Prashant Pandey, Medical Director at Asian Hospital and the driving force behind this initiative, emphasized the dual benefit of speed and sustainability. “Introducing this technology isn’t just a technical upgrade; it’s a patient-focused advancement. Our goal is to provide timely, reliable reports while minimizing our environmental impact.”
Recognized for Sustainable Healthcare Practices
As per the press release, the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) has acknowledged Asian Hospital’s efforts for promoting sustainable healthcare. This recognition reflects the institution’s dedication to integrating eco-conscious solutions within high-quality medical care.
Enhanced Patient Comfort and Safety
The new system also improves patient comfort. It requires only a minimal blood sample for most tests, which is especially beneficial for children, elderly patients, and those in intensive care. “Advanced microfluidic technology ensures accurate results the first time, minimizing the need for repeat testing,” noted Dr. Ramesh Chandna, Chairman of Safety, Quality, Laboratory Services & Blood Bank. He further highlighted the system’s ability to track every sample throughout the testing process, ensuring full traceability and stringent safety standards.
Setting New Standards in Healthcare Excellence
By adopting this state-of-the-art diagnostic technology, Asian Hospital is setting a new benchmark in quality care. “We are aligning Faridabad with cities known for world-class healthcare, while reinforcing our commitment to patient-first and environmentally responsible practices,” said Dr. Pandey.
