Washington, D.C.-based Children’s National launched a fully operational automated laboratory testing line, becoming the first children’s hospital in the U.S. to use the technology.
The technology connects clinical chemistry and immunoassay testing into one streamlined process, according to an Aug. 28 news release. Once a sample is loaded, an automated track and robotics move it through processing and analysis, reducing manual handling and speeding the release of results.
Routine results can be available within hours, helping care teams make more timely diagnosis and treatment decisions. The automated laboratory testing line is designed to improve efficiency, expand testing capacity and deliver results more quickly to patients and families.
At the Becker's 11th Annual IT + Revenue Cycle Conference: The Future of AI & Digital Health, taking place September 14–17 in Chicago, healthcare executives and digital leaders from across the country will come together to explore how AI, interoperability, cybersecurity, and revenue cycle innovation are transforming care delivery, strengthening financial performance, and driving the next era of digital health.
