    Abstract

    :

    This paper provides an overview of importance of automation in the field of providing specimen test results to doctors in an efficient and real time manner for ensuring effective treatment in big hospitals. The relation between treatment and investigation results is proportional to each other. That is, when the time taken to obtain the investigation results is delayed then the effective treatment to a patient is also delayed. Effective methods of queue management to minimize patient waiting time and overcrowding of patients are the big challenges faced by major hospitals. Unnecessary and unwanted waits for long time will result in substantial decrease of human resource and wastage of time and sudden increase in the frustration feel by patients. The primary aim of the project is to decrease the time between the investigation results receiving phase and effective treatment phase and thus decrease the patient consulting queue, patient waiting time for investigation and overcrowding. This work explains the importance of automation in hospital laboratory procedure to increase the speed of providing specimen test results of the patients. The scope of this paper is to provide an interfacing method of the large scale testing machines used in big hospital having RS232 or network socket connectivity with any of the hospital management software using java socket methods. This process decrease the treatment delay, thus it derives the base of populate the concept of Big Data for Good Heath. This method of providing fastest test results of the investigations is more helpful towards the infections and dieses control in a time bound fashion. Automation in the field of fast and efficient health care achieve a high rate of growth by using web services, M-governance, Cloud service technologies. This type of information having high availability is very helpful to the users in a real time manner and any time. This paper discusses some of the existing activities and future opportunities related to automation of Hospital laboratory.
