Case study
We can no longer fail for administrative reasons, meaning our EQA is always accredited because we consistently operate good testing practices.
Manchester Royal Infirmary (MRI) is part of Central Manchester University NHS Foundation Trust (MFT). Founded in 1752, MRI has evolved into a renowned research and teaching hospital, collaborating with Manchester University’s Medical School.
UK NEQAS is an international External Quality Assurance (EQA) provider that ensures the reliable in-range reporting of laboratory analysers and gives labs confidence that their test results are accurate and compliant across diverse settings.
Results are consistently returned on time, eliminating the risk of accreditation failure.
The EQA process is now streamlined and efficient, reducing the workload on staff.
Labgnostic has eliminated errors resulting in a flawless EQA process, with a 100% return rate and improved data quality.
Labgnostic has led to increased job satisfaction among staff, reducing stress and maintaining high EQA scores.
Five Greater Manchester NHS Trusts were the first in the whole of the UK to adopt the precursor to Labgnostic (formerly NPEx) back in the early 2010s. While we speak with them on a weekly basis to assist with their LIMS upgrade projects and help them get the most out of Labgnostic, we took a short trip down memory lane to share their journey and where they are with lab interoperability now.
Using with Labgnostic’s network, PinPoint is optimising and automating the blood-testing process to provide better care for patients.
RhD-negative mothers now receive critical RhD screening results faster with Labgnostic lab2lab interoperability.
By streamlining workflows and automating results reporting, Mater reduced turnaround times of pathology send-outs by 90.4%.
