PeaceHealth signs systems deal with Sysmex
PeaceHealth, a nonprofit integrated healthcare network with medical centers, critical access hospitals, medical group clinics and laboratories in Alaska, Washington and Oregon, has signed a five-year equipment, quality control, reagent and service agreement with Sysmex America.
PeaceHealth processes 730,000 blood samples annually, and the agreement will standardize process automation and technology across multiple sites, enabling PeaceHealth to shift personnel between hematology laboratories without the need to cross-train them on different types of analyzers.
Standardization will allow PeaceHealth to withstand medical technologist shortages and keep up with increasing workload demands and testing complexity that may accompany an aging population, according to Mundelein, Ill.-based Sysmex.
