Increase Access
to Care

Capacity to meet the growing demand for healthcare is decreasing

In healthcare settings around the world:

• More patients are accessing care
• Due to continued consolidation, fewer hospitals and hospital beds are available to accommodate these patients
• Healthcare systems are challenged with overcrowding and long wait times
• Patient care is moving outside of the hospital

New approaches to shaping care

Integrating  diagnostic information into the patient-care pathway is helping many healthcare organizations increase patients' access to high-quality, efficient care. With-patient testing:

• Offers a platform that can be standardised throughout hospitals, ambulatory clinics, home care services, free standing EDs and urgent care clinics
• Provides lab-quality results in minutes, not hours
• Improves access to healthcare services in rural locations

Efficiency makes a difference in one patient’s life
