At Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital, new web portal gives doctors quick access to lab reports
The HinduThe long queues of patient relatives waiting to hand over blood samples of their hospitalised family members and to collect the test results outside the biochemistry laboratory at Rajiv Gandhi Government General Hospital have come down. The reason: doctors here, at the largest State healthcare institute in Tamil Nadu, can now access laboratory investigation reports on their mobile phones and in through a web portal, doing away with the need for patient attendants to wait outside the central laboratory to collect the reports. RGGGH’s Institute of Biochemistry was the first in the government sector in Tamil Nadu to launch such a web portal allowing doctors to easily access laboratory reports. “The laboratory also shares and highlights critical values identified in testing samples on a WhatsApp group, alerting the respective heads of departments and enabling doctors to take up required interventions immediately,” Dr. Theranirajan says.
