The CISSS de l’Outaouais’s establishments urgently require several small pieces of equipment that are essential to the performance of recurring tasks carried out by care professionals
Currently, the hematology laboratory at the Gatineau Hospital uses a manual method to prepare and stain blood samples. This is a slow, difficult and concentration-intensive method.
Sticking to this method means that Outaouais patients are less well served, are exposed to increased risks of error and face sub-optimal outcomes. Some patients may experience delays in their treatment, with possibly serious consequences. In addition, due to competition with Ottawa and staff shortages, the CISSS de l’Outaouais may struggle to attract new employees because of its outdated equipment.
The acquisition of an “automated hematology slide-maker/stainer” is the solution to this challenge. This machine can automatically colour blood samples for analysis, standardize the process, reduce human error and improve result quality. The machine works with a tiny drop of blood placed on a glass slide, then coloured with special substances to facilitate observation of the blood cells under a microscope.
The purchase of an automated hematology slide-maker/stainer will bring the following benefits:
– More efficient and time-saving techniques for laboratory technicians.
– Faster processing of very large numbers of samples.
– Higher-quality analyses and fewer human errors.
– Reduced expenses, a crucial advantage during times of labour scarcity. – Making it possible to increase laboratory capacity without having to hire more staff.
– All without needing extra space to install the equipment.
It’s time to embrace this new technology for the good of all.

Faced with this challenge, the laboratory management team at CISSS de l’Outaouais has devised a pioneering solution: a complete cervical cancer screening system using liquid-based Pap tests (ThinPrep).
To help the technical staff and reduce waiting time for patients, the CISSS de l’Outaouais must upgrade the existing software to add specialized modules for specimen traceability, macroscopy assistance, telepathology and management.
Each year, the Gatineau and Hull hospitals’ laboratories perform more than 70,000 analytical procedures on blood products to determine blood groups, verify the presence of antibodies, ensure pregnancy follow-ups, and more.
The CISSS de l’Outaouais’ establishments are in need of several small pieces of equipment that are essential to the performance of recurring tasks by care professionals.
