The Results

Bedfordshire Hospitals chose Diagnexia for its advanced approach to digital histopathology diagnostics, marked by outstanding communication, swift report delivery, and high-quality results. This decision came as a response to Diagnexia’s proficiency in overcoming previous outsourcing challenges, showcasing their superior digital diagnostic reporting and customised service offerings. Their proactive and solution-focused methods have closely aligned with the Trust’s requirements, fostering a productive partnership.

The collaboration, which began in May, initially involved Bedford Hospital and later expanded to the Luton and Dunstable site. Starting with a 3-week pilot to manage low volumes, Diagnexia’s role has since grown significantly due to the successful integration and outcomes. Now, Diagnexia handles a significant portion of the Trust’s histopathology reporting, a strategic increase that has been crucial in addressing the changing needs of patients while upholding high operational standards.

A key achievement of this partnership is the improved turnaround time for diagnostic reports, with cases sent on Fridays now consistently reported by the following Monday. This efficiency boost is a testament to the effectiveness of the collaboration.

The expertise of Diagnexia’s team is evident, as each pathologist is not only actively involved in their respective subspecialty EQA programs but also engaged in Specialist Registrar roles. This demonstrates their dedication to delivering services with unmatched accuracy and expertise.

Overall, this collaboration underscores Diagnexia’s commitment to integrating cutting-edge technology in pathology services, ensuring precise, efficient, and superior diagnostic support for NHS Hospitals.
