Lewisham early mover for CSC lab system

  • 18 July 2012

Lewisham Healthcare NHS Trust has become one of the first to adopt CSC’s next-generation laboratory system. 

The move is part of a project to overhaul cellular pathology services across the new organisation, which has been formed by the merger of acute and community services in Lewisham.

Under a three-year contract, CSC’s Healthcare Group will replace a Radius system for cellular pathology with its laboratory solution.

The agreement will immediately allow doctors to request cellular pathology tests and view all results online.

As an early adopter, Lewisham will also use current NextGen modules for cellular pathology and mortuary plus tools for vital cancer registry reporting.

“Following this implementation we will be better placed to support the cellular pathology services now being offered across the trust in a more effective and efficient manner,” said Alex Singer, Lewisham’s pathology manager.

Andrea Fiumicelli, chief operating officer of CSC’s Healthcare Group, said the company’s NextGen solution was "designed to meet demands on modern pathology services to do more for less" and would help to cement its position in the LIMS market.
