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
The pathology laboratory of the CISSS de l’Outaouais is the laboratory where all patients’ specimens (biopsies and surgical parts, for example) are sent in order to identify the presence or absence of cancer. The laboratory’s work is therefore a fundamental part of care management for cancer patients.
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.
This addition will make it possible to digitize requests as soon as they are created, in addition to automating and computerizing several tasks that are currently done manually.
More than 25,000 requests are sent to the laboratory each year. Of that number, a little over a third are considered “urgent.” Although the team managing these requests is currently able to ensure compliance with the response times required by the ministère de la Santé et des Services sociaux (MSSS) for all urgent cases (biopsies and surgical parts), non-urgent cases face significant delays and fail to meet MSSS standards regarding processing times.
It goes without saying that these delays can be a major source of anxiety for patients waiting for the result of their sample analysis. Unfortunately, there is also the issue that even among cases not considered “urgent,” there are unexpected cancers whose detection and treatment are delayed by these setbacks.
Upgrading to the Diamic software will save a considerable amount of time by optimizing current resources and increasing the technical team’s productivity in order to achieve the MSSS response time objectives for all specimens sent to the pathology laboratory.
