Testing data will be connected nationwide.

Bach Mai Hospital is the first hospital in the country to establish a testing institute. According to Associate Professor, Dr. Dao Xuan Co, Director of Bach Mai Hospital, the Bach Mai Hospital Testing Institute has merged with testing units in the entire hospital, becoming a leading center for basic and specialized testing, which is a necessary condition for Bach Mai Hospital to become a specialized medical center.

Testing institutes help save costs and improve operational efficiency because investment resources are concentrated and are especially meaningful for synchronizing and standardizing testing quality.

In addition to serving medical examination and treatment throughout the hospital and receiving samples from satellite hospitals, provincial and district levels, the Bach Mai Hospital Testing Institute is the center of the national testing network, meeting international standards, serving basic and specialized testing for all specialties: hematology, blood transfusion, biochemistry, immunology, microbiology, parasitology, molecular biology, genetics, pathology, cytology and also participating in the development of new tests, new tests and clinical trials. The testing institute is automated, robots read results automatically and have AI to support diagnosis, read blood cell analysis specimens, detect abnormalities and return results 100% online. With this model, the testing institute will support remote consultation with hospitals, and be a place for free basic screening of electronic health records for people, deployed from 2026.

Data connectivity helps patients reduce the need to re-test when transferring to a new treatment facility.

According to Mr. Dao Xuan Co, the laboratory of Bach Mai Hospital Testing Institute is being completed to meet comprehensive international standards, participating in cooperation with international testing centers, centers, institutes, medical training schools of the UK, the US and leading medical units in Asia. These are necessary conditions to ensure similar testing quality when implementing major international research.

In the country, the institute will be a testing training center for medical facilities, serving the connection of testing data nationwide. "Data connection can only be implemented when the testing capacity of units is equivalent in quality. To connect testing data between facilities, it is first necessary to synchronize the quality of data (test list, test results). To perform standard testing, facilities must synchronize equipment, human resources, and standard procedures from the sampling stage," said Mr. Co.

In large hospitals, a huge number of basic tests must be performed every day, up to 5,000 - 7,000 people/day. Connecting test data helps patients reduce the need to re-take tests when transferring to a treatment facility, reducing treatment time and costs. Test data also serves to evaluate disease patterns and trends, thereby creating appropriate strategies for intervention and health care for the people.
