Guest guest Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 Hindustan Latex sets up diagnostic centre February 8, 2008 | Health, e-Gov and News. New Delhi: In order to extend upgraded medical services to its beneficiaries by using available space and facilities through the outsourcing model, Hindustan Latex (HLL) has set up a diagnostic centre HINDLABS partnering with the Central Government Health Scheme (CGHS). According to the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the centre will provide quality diagnostic services to the CGHS beneficiaries at CGHS rates and would also provide the same to patients outside the CGHS too at affordable rates. This centre will have two major facilities, which include a clinical specimen testing lab to deliver pathology, haematology and biochemistry tests; and a diagnostic imaging facility. The operation of the centre and customer interfaces will be integrated through laboratory management software, which will be capable of patient registration, billing, report entry and issual and generation of reports. CGHS is one of the primary healthcare delivery networks of the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, which delivers economical and quality medical care facilities to central government employees across India. HindLabs, set up on a pilot basis, will be scaled up in the coming six-month period in the National Capital region and other metros all over the country. Hindustan Latex is a mini ratna enterprise under the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare of the Government of India. The company is in the process of setting up 30 LifeSpring Hospitals in the states of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka and Maharastra. Apart from hospitals, the major focus of the company will primarily be in the area of high quality health care delivery at affordable rates. According to the Ministry, major initiatives in the infrastructure upgradation of hospitals and health centres are now being undertaken across the country by the government. In this scenario, outsourcing of the diagnostic facilities at these hospitals assumes importance, to enable the hospital to focus on their primary responsibility of ensuring high standards of medical care. —iGovernment Bureau http://www.igovernment.in/site/hindustan-latex-sets-up-diagnostic- centre/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
