Recently, some domestic medical journals and health websites frequently mention the word "independent medical laboratory", and some say it is a professional medical specimen testing center. It is understood that chengdu has also introduced such a high-end medical examination center, which has been listed as one of the health industry development plans of chengdu municipal government from 2010 to 2017. What is an independent medical laboratory? What changes will it bring to our healthy life in the future?
Recently, the reporter interviewed the operation manager of chengdu aidikang medical laboratory, the first independent medical laboratory in China to realize the trans-regional chain operation mode. According to his introduction, the "independence" of the independent laboratory is the key to define the independent medical laboratory. Independent of medical institutions in the management system, can stand fairly to provide third-party medical testing center. Centralized testing of test samples by independent laboratories can not only save costs greatly, but also improve the efficiency and quality of testing and reduce the incidence of errors, which is the development direction of developed countries in Europe and America. The medical laboratory service industry in the United States is mature and has formed several large independent medical laboratories, among which QUEST, the most famous one, has developed into the largest multinational company in the world.
In China, although the independent medical testing is in the emerging industry, its "medical testing outsourcing service" mode is being highly concerned and respected by many fields. For patients, access to high quality testing and diagnosis services is available; For medical institutions, its emergence avoids unnecessary investment in testing instruments and personnel allocation; It makes it possible to carry out high-cost, high-technology and high-difficulty inspection projects.
The chengdu city government in the health industry development plan in the future is put forward: in the city center focus on developing for the purpose of health, construction of medical service support platform, meet the multi-level demand of the third party inspection agencies, medical detection characteristic projects, the high-quality goods in clinical medicine for people health services to provide more high quality and economy.
