IBM Big Data Analytics to boost Dr Lal PathLabs growth in India

To improve the quality of information and service to its patients and centralize the patient information across its laboratories and Patient Service Centres across the country, IBM has announced that Dr Lal PathLabs (LPL) is leveraging IBM consulting services.

With global expansion plans, LPL wanted to transform its existing data system into a knowledge stream with collaboration tools across 80 locations that increase quality of patient reports, research, development and productivity. IBM helped LPL to select and implement the right system to transform their laboratory information management process, thereby improving the reliability of sampling processes, meeting regulatory compliance and industry standards, and providing comprehensive reporting, monitoring and analysis capabilities.

Jeby Cherian, Vice-President & Managing Partner, Global Business Services, IBM India/South Asia, said, Sourcing and analyzing Big Data in real-time from multiple sources is a growing challenge across industries. With the right combination of technology and services, organizations like LPL can take advantage of the increased availability of data to improve patient service and care, achieving the very highest industry standards.

We serve over 30,000 patients per day, resulting in more than 90,000 samples per day. It was imperative for LPL to apply this large pool of data to improve the experience of our customers. IBM’s industry expertise and deep domain knowledge helped us derive real-time insights to improve collaboration and boost growth across the company,” said Dr Om P. Manchanda, CEO, Dr Lal PathLabs.

Furthermore, working with IBM, LPL can integrate, automate and optimize data for new insights and also make it cost-effective, scalable and secure.
