OBH partners with Beckman Coulter to Improve Patient Care

BROOKLYN,, NY, UNITED STATES, December 13, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- One Brooklyn Health (OBH) Brookdale Hospital Campus Laboratory and Beckman Coulter Diagnostics, a global leader in clinical diagnostics, are delighted to announce their new joint partnership. This collaborative effort aims to enhance the healthcare services provided by OBH, specifically supporting lab diagnostics by implementing innovative solutions. Beckman Coulter’s advanced diagnostics technologies and the proprietary Performance Partnership program, combined with OBH’s commitment to accessible healthcare, will help improve patient outcomes in the communities they serve. This partnership highlights our shared vision of delivering high-quality and comprehensive care.

A key element of the advanced technology is the DxA 5000 Laboratory Automation System, a state-of-the-art, high-throughput automation system that improves test processing speed. The DxA 5000 ensures rapid and consistent turnaround time (TAT) and offers comprehensive pre-analytical sample quality assessment. Notably, since OBH installed the DxA 5000 automation system on November 9, 2023, there has been an improvement in the laboratory's TAT for tests. This installation marks a substantial step toward transforming the laboratory into a Center of Excellence.

The unveiling of this state-of-the-art system will be on Wed. Dec. 13, 2023, at 10 am at the One Brooklyn Health Brookdale Campus, 1 Brookdale Plaza, 2nd Floor Laboratory, Brookdale, NY.

“Our state-of-the-art DxA 5000 laboratory automation system supports our mission to provide greater access to high-quality medical care and keep our communities healthy. Because of the collaboration between Beckman Coulter and our expert laboratory team, OBH has realized a dream.” Dr. Sandra Scott, Interim Chief Executive Officer One Brooklyn Health.

“We are proud to be able to offer our patients the highest quality of care with the installation of the DxA 5000 Laboratory Automation System,” said OBH Chairman Dept of Pathology Dr. Akhtar Cheema. “This system, along with Beckman Coulter’s Performance Partnership program, will help us to provide faster and more accurate results, which will ultimately improve patient care.”

Beckman Coulter’s Performance Partnership is a collaborative program designed to enhance operational, clinical, and financial outcomes for health systems. The program focuses on providing tailored solutions leveraging Beckman Coulter’s deep diagnostics and lab operations expertise to drive hard-dollar savings through workflow and resource optimizations.

VP of Global Performance Partnership at Beckman Coulter, John McCarthy adds, “One Brooklyn Health is of tremendous importance to the Brooklyn community and an organization that we couldn’t be prouder to partner with to deliver high-quality patient outcomes. We are excited to embark on this transformative journey together by aligning our cutting-edge diagnostic technologies and business models with One Brooklyn’s extraordinary vision, staff, and leadership.
