If you're attending Digital Health Week #DHW2024 in Hamilton New Zealand next week, don't miss these two inspiring presentations by our Director for APAC Michelle Frazer
I'm excited about speaking at Digital Health Week New Zealand next week and sharing how X-Lab is "Navigating the Future Now." No, we haven't mastered the art of time travel (still working on that) but what we have done, and have been doing for almost 20 years, is taking a very innovative and unique approach to healthcare interoperability, that allows organisations to start sharing data within weeks not years. That's important, because our healthcare systems and staff are stretched to the limit now and can't wait another five, ten or fifteen years for the world to agree on interoperability standards. Imagine if within a matter of weeks you could digitise and automate the sharing of data with your partners to eliminate manual data entry, checking, chasing as well as error investigation, remediation and reporting. Highly trained staff are happy to be redeployed to higher value work, organisational productivity and throughput increases, while patient safety and outcomes are improved with faster delivery of information that is 100% accurate. Join me on: * Wednesday 4 December 2024 to hear "How the UK national pathology exchange saved lives during Covid" using our technology * Thursday Thursday 5 December 2024 to hear how we've been "Revolutionising the External Quality Assurance Process" #DHWNZ2024 #healthcare #healthtech #healthsystems #healthit #healthinteroperability #healthcareinnovation #digitalhealth X-Lab Mat Barrow Steve Box Nicola Smith MBA Terence Smith Hayley Milsom

Please like and share this post so our pathology and laboratory staff know we appreciate them! International Pathology Day is an annual awareness day which is dedicated to highlighting the pivotal role pathology plays in healthcare, and our overall health and wellbeing. Studies show that 70-80 percent of all healthcare decisions affecting diagnosis or treatment involve a pathological investigation. Its use is equally significant in the investigation and treatment of male and female infertility. The speed and accuracy of the results produced by the laboratory are crucial in the determination of a correct diagnosis and effective treatment plans. Pathology was a critical tool during the pandemic, where fast PCR testing and delivery of results for COVID-19 was vital. As volumes grew - the UK it went from 10,000 a week to 11 million - this put staff under enormous pressure and stress. So kudos and thank you to all pathology and laboratory staff! #InternationalPathologyDay #pathology #laboratory #digitalhealth #interoperability Royal College of Pathologists (RCPath) The Royal College of Pathologists of Australasia (RCPA) X-Lab Mat Barrow Nicola Smith MBA Terence Smith Hayley Milsom Debbie Hunter Angus Whitham

Our Director for Business Development in APAC Michelle Frazer explains how a lack of pathology interoperability in the region made managing the COVID-19 pandemic difficult for Australian health authorities, and how establishing a National Pathology Exchange will ensure better preparedness for the next pandemic
An enquiry into Australia's response to COVID-19 has highlighted a lack of preparedness and warned Australians are unlikely to accept large scale restrictions and mandates with future pandemics. One factor in this lack of preparedness was the disparate and disconnected nature of pathology services, which meant it took days to manually consolidate COVID results and correct manual transcription errors, leaving health authorities always on the back foot and unable to get ahead of the trends. The COVID-19 report recommends the establishment of an Australian Centre for Disease Control (CDC), which the government has announced it will commit $251.7m to deliver in 2026, pending legislation. Another initiative that wasn't mentioned but should be considered, is the establishment of a National Pathology Network, like they have in the UK, which provides system agnostic digital interoperability between pathology laboratories and other organisations. When COVID-19 hit in 2020, 70% of pathology laboratories in the UK were connected to the National Pathology Network (or NPEx as it was known) which meant health authorities were getting a stream of real time, accurate results from those laboratories and piles of paper (like in Australia) from the rest. In March 2020, Simon Eccles, NHS England's CCIO mandated the use of NPEx for the 30% of laboratories not already using it saying: "We need a centralised system. We are mandating NPEx... for every lab doing COVID tests in the fastest possible time frame in order to gain that degree of interoperability.” X-Lab onboarded 41 laboratories to NPEx in 6 weeks. This gave UK health authorities the ability to accurately track the virus and make timely, informed pandemic response decisions. The system behind the UK's National Pathology Exchange is known as Labgnostic and it's already being used in Australia by some laboratories. Expanding it to include every laboratory that does infectious disease testing is a practical initiative the government could take to ensure Australia is prepared for the next pandemic. #COVID #COVID19 #healthcareinteroperabillity #pandemic #pandemicpreparedness #pandemicresponse #digitalhealth #interoperability #pathology #laboratory #digitalinnovation #ADHA Australian Digital Health Agency #NPEx #Labgnostic X-Lab Mat Barrow Terence Smith Nicola Smith MBA Steve Box Australian Government Department of Health and Aged Care
