LabVantage system speeds up HPV test process
Region Skåne, the southernmost province in Sweden, has upgraded into the newest version of LabVantage Medical Suite Laboratory Information Management System, delivered by Software Point. The system is used for pathology in Skåne University Hospital in Lund and Malmö, and in clinical laboratories in Helsingborg and Kristianstad hospitals.
Region Skåne has 1,3 million residents, 10 hospitals and 4 pathology laboratories performing daily analyses ordered by healthcare operators in Skåne and outside the region. The laboratory information management system is used by laboratory people, nurses, secretaries, cytodiagnosticians and doctors as well as business units and managers.
Region Skåne´s implementation of LabVantage Medical Suite (LVMS) 3.10 has various integrations to different data systems and laboratory instruments, enabling them to communicate together and LVMS to compile information from several sources.
Speeding up laboratory processes, LabVantage Medical Suite makes it possible to give patients their results quicker.
“It is great to work together with Region Skåne because they are solution-oriented professionals. They share their medical know-how and bring a lot of good ideas for product improvements”, says Business Director Anneli Friberg, the Project Manager at Software Point in Region Skåne´s project.
In January 2017, a national treatment program was confirmed in Sweden, including detailed recommendations to healthcare operators inviting women to HPV (human papilloma virus) screening and sampling. Women who regularly participate in the gynecological cell sampling program have 90 % lower risk to catch cervical cancer.
LabVantage Medical Suite is supporting Region Skåne´s whole HPV analysis process. The new program initiated more frequent testing of HPV: the increase is estimated to be from 15,000 to 75,000 samples per year. To handle this in the laboratories, Region Skåne and Software Point together created a more automated and efficient workflow in LVMS. It processes huge volume tasks, lessens manual work, and thus saves various employee groups´ time.
LabVantage Medical Suite is an all-in-one multidisciplinary laboratory system for both clinical chemistry, microbiology, pathology, blood, hormone and genetic laboratories. With LabVantage Medical Suite, the laboratory can streamline its entire laboratory operations, automate routine tasks and processes, and reduce errors and overall costs. This contributes to improvement in the efficiency and quality of the laboratory work, and to safety and quality of patient care.
