Background

Consortiu Judetean in Oradea, Romania is a 1,865-bed facility in serving multiple departments including Pulmonology, Maternity, and Infectious Diseases. With over 2,800 samples processed daily and up to 3% requiring urgent attention, the lab needed a solution to streamline operations and reduce manual bottlenecks. Traditional LIS integration posed delays and complexity, prompting the adoption of AlinIQ Indexor with AlinIQ AMS for faster deployment and improved efficiency.

Challenge

The lab at Consortiu Judetean faced persistent issues with LIS integration, including long setup times, resource-heavy coordination, and manual workflows that slowed sample processing. The complexity of managing multiple LIS platforms delayed operational readiness and increased costs. Manual sorting and prioritization created bottlenecks, especially urgent samples, while inconsistent documentation hindered compliance efforts.

The lab needed a scalable solution that could automate workflows, improve traceability, and support accreditation standards without extensive IT involvement.

Solution

The lab adopted AlinIQ Indexor with AlinIQ AMS, enabling rapid deployment and reducing LIS setup time by two months. Automated sample check-in, sorting, and urgent prioritization improved responsiveness, while real-time tracking supported ISO 15189 accreditation and simplified audits. Processing time dropped from 2–3 hours to just 5 minutes, 36 times faster, while labor needs for sample reception fell by 80%. Efficiency gains also increased testing capacity by 15%.

With streamlined workflows and full traceability, Consortiu Judetean achieved operational continuity, reduced costs, and improved patient care without adding staff or complexity.
