Slashing lab report turnaround from 5 days to 8 hours
What a Juba private diagnostic centre could expect by integrating their existing analyzers and ultrasound directly into TamamHealth LIS + RIS: median report turnaround projected to drop from 5 days to under 8 hours.
The kind of problem we're built for
Many diagnostic centres handle referrals from over 30 clinics across Juba. Manual transcription from analyzer printouts to handwritten reports is the bottleneck — typists work overtime nightly and reports often go out the next afternoon.
Imaging studies get burned to CD and physically returned to the referring clinic, adding 24–72 hours to the diagnostic loop.
How TamamHealth changes the day
LIS-2A integration to common hematology analyzers (Sysmex, Mindray) — results stream directly into TamamHealth LIS, validated against age-and-sex reference ranges, ready for tech sign-off in seconds.
RIS module configured for ultrasound and X-ray with structured templates per indication. PACS integration via Orthanc lets the reading radiologist view, report, and release without leaving the platform.
Reports auto-deliver to the referring clinic via email + SMS download link. Patients also get an SMS link to their own copy.
What we'd expect in the first quarter
Median lab report turnaround drops from 5 days to under 8 hours. The fastest path (FBC + reticulocyte) could run at 18 minutes from venipuncture to clinician's inbox.
Imaging study delivery drops from 24-72 hours to under 30 minutes.
The centre can scale to additional reading stations and satellite collection points without additional infrastructure investment.
“Most diagnostic centres bought their analyzer years ago and still don't use it the way the manufacturer intended.”
