Detailed Project Report on Diagnostic Lab and Online Trading Business

DIAGNOSTIC LAB AND ONLINE TRADING BUSINESS

[EIRI/EDPR/1366] (J.C.:136)

INTRODUCTION

Medical Laboratories offers a comprehensive battery of blood tests for physician's patients. Several tests will be done in-house including:

CBC- A complete test of red blood cell count, white blood count and a platelet count. Each of these three can be ordered individually if needed.

Blood Sugar Test- Frequently requested for diabetics or possible diabetics.

Electrolyte Testing- For patients who are on diuretics and there is concern that they may be losing too many of their electrolytes.

Creatine- Often used to check kidney functioning or to determine if there is heart or kidney problems.

Other types of blood analysis can be done with the specimen sent to a central lab for testing.

Start-up Summary

Medical Laboratories will require the following equipment for the start up of the business:

• Waiting room furniture

• Two computers with Quick Books Pro, Microsoft Office, and insurance billing software, sharing a laser printer and a broadband Internet connection

• Five portable ice coolers

• Four chairs for the blood drawing rooms

• Latex gloves, syringes, needles

• Auto analyzer

• Complete blood testing machine

• Centrifuge

• Refrigerator/freezer unit

Unlike other areas of the diagnostic laboratory, clinical microbiology is a science of interpretive judgment that is becoming more complex, not less. Even with the advent of laboratory automation and the integration of genomics and proteomics in microbiology, interpretation of results still depends on the quality of the specimens received for analysis. Prokaryotic microorganisms, while genetically less complex than multicellular eukaryotes, are uniquely suited to adapt to environments where antibiotics and host responses apply pressures that encourage their survival. A laboratory instrument may or may not detect those mutations, so a specialist in microbiology is needed to facilitate microbiology laboratory result interpretation. Clearly, all microbes grow, multiply, and die very quickly. If any of those events occur during specimen collection, transport, or storage, the results of analysis will be compromised and interpretation could be misleading. Therefore, attention to preanalytical specimen management in microbiology is critical to accuracy. 

Physicians need confidence that the results provided by the microbiology laboratory are accurate, significant, and clinically relevant. Anything less is below the community standard of care. In order to provide that level of quality, however, the laboratory requires that all microbiology specimens be properly selected, collected, and transported to optimize analysis and interpretation. Because result interpretation in microbiology depends entirely on the quality of the specimen submitted for analysis, specimen management cannot be left to chance, and those that collect specimens for microbiologic analysis must be aware of what the physician needs as well as what the laboratory needs, including ensuring that specimens arrive at the laboratory for analysis as quickly as possible after collection.
