Hospital Becomes One of the World’s First to Create Fully Digital Microbiology Lab

Bumrungrad International Hospital has used InterSystems TrakCare® Lab Enterprise to create one of the first fully digital microbiology laboratories in the world.

The digitisation of end-to-end process in microbiology follows Bumrungrad’s go-live with the InterSystems TrakCare unified healthcare information system in October 2018 to support world-class care delivery throughout the hospital. The deployment included the digitisation of Bumrungrad’s core laboratory handling 60-70% of the hospital’s five million annual tests on around one million samples.
