Client (Madhya Pradesh) perspective of the Wet lease Model:

In the Year 2020, a new model of Pathology Testing Wet Lease Reagent Rental model was implemented in the government health facilities- District hospitals and Civil hospitals of the state. Wet Lease is a radical model where the selection of outsource agency is done under Hybrid (PPP+ In-house) to transform the delivery of diagnostic services in MP.

IT Backbone of the project– SHARP (Science House Application for Remote Pathology):–

Efficiency/Efficacy or Impact of Intervention (Association with other programs or indicators)

Reporting of the program is vertically and data through the centralized LIMS is interoperable with that of the other programs as well.

Significant improvements have been observed in:

• Turnaround time (TAT)
• Logistics management
• Incidents reported
• Quality Control (QC) parameter and EQAS
• No. of Investigations performed

Challenges and lessons learned.

• Irrational Deployment of lab technician in district lab.
• Lack of ownership and monitoring of CMHO and Civil surgeon.
• Unavailability of the pathologist, if available then, and deployment of the pathologist in other works
• Reporting of the program is vertical, with no coordination among lab technicians.
• Lack of Inventory management.
• Unavailability of data entry operator

Potential for scale-up

In the future, there is planning to add more testing Facilities like cytology, molecular testing, and Elisa testing in state health facilities.

Why there is a need for a pathology rental model?

• Automation
• Efficiency
• Flexibility and Scalability
• Advance machines
• Less manual intervention
• Responsibility of workflow
• Confidentiality and data protection
• Compliance consideration
• Medical procurement
• Ease of access and transparency
• Central monitoring system
• Multi-layer of supervision

What did we serve through this project?

Expertise and Specialization of Software:

Our model allows hospitals to access the expertise and specialization of pathology services through cutting-edge software. It simplifies the way of testing and results. Also, our trained professionals are specialized in pathology lab’s routine tasks and analyzing laboratory tests on machines. This ensures accurate and timely diagnoses, which is crucial for effective patient management.

Peace of mind:

Running a full-fledged laboratory in a healthcare facility may be a highly manageable task. And sometimes it may also lead to high turnaround times and inefficiencies. Hiring dedicated pathology staff, technicians and supervisors were always need high investment. Instead, we have provided a one-stop reliable solution. The complete project comes with powerful software, advanced machines, and trained staff. The workflow is designed as a simple yet efficient way to give peace of mind to healthcare providers.

Moreover, it reduces the costs of investing in expensive infrastructure. This can result in significant cost savings.

Access to Advanced Technology:

The wet Lease Reagent Rental model often has state-of-the-art equipment and advanced laboratory technologies. As this project is all about access to cutting-edge diagnostic tools that healthcare providers may not be able to maintain on their own. This enables them to offer a wider range of tests and services to their patients.

Improved Efficiency:

As a critical aspect of effective treatment and patient outcomes, the wet-lease model helps healthcare providers to reduce turnaround time for test results. The software often streamlines processes and resources to handle a high volume of tests efficiently, leading to quicker diagnoses.

Quality Assurance and Accreditation:

Our model has highly adhered to rigorous quality assurance measures and accreditation standards. It ensures that the diagnostic services meet industry standards and regulatory requirements.

Focus on Core Competencies:

We offered healthcare providers to focus on their specialties. And it can free them from lots of resources, manual intervention, and monitoring. Thus, they can optimize their operations and allocate resources more effectively, leading to improved overall healthcare delivery.

Dispute resolution:

As the demand for pathology services fluctuates, healthcare facilities can adjust the scope of their workflow with pathology services. We provide a dedicated account manager on single call assistance and a 24 x 7 support desk for queries.

The wet Lease Reagent Rental model helped government and private hospitals to enhance their diagnostic capabilities, improve patient care, and optimize their operations, ultimately leading to better healthcare outcomes.
