Arkansas Methodist Medical Center faced significant challenges in maintaining seamless pathology operations, particularly during periods when coverage for vacations was needed. Dr. Green, the sole pathologist at the hospital, sought a reliable and cost-effective solution to address these gaps without compromising on the quality of diagnostic services. This case study highlights how Diagnexia's services provided much-needed support and transformed the hospital’s pathology operations.
The Challenge
Dr. Green’s primary concern was the loss of a retired colleague who had previously covered her vacations. This left her with limited options, often resulting in high costs for locum coverage. Additionally, the hospital lacked a PA or histotech capable of grossing most specimens, making it difficult to maintain efficient pathology operations during her absence. The initial use of Diagnexia’s consultation services proved beneficial, but there was a need for a more comprehensive solution.
The Solution
The turning point came when the hospital hired a histotech who could gross smaller specimens. This enabled Dr. Green to send all the slides to Diagnexia for primary reads during her vacation. Diagnexia’s pathologists, licensed in Arkansas, provided high-quality diagnostic services, ensuring seamless continuity of care. The credentials and expertise of Diagnexia’s consultants greatly impressed Dr. Green and instilled confidence in their partnership.
