Chapter 103: What Do You Want Me To Do?
He Xiaolin could only shake his head and lament when he heard this question, "Among the 40 nucleic acid testing institutions designated by Jiangcheng, our volume is the largest. ”
"At the beginning, in order to form a matching testing capacity with Huoshenshan Hospital, we urgently purchased a large number of kits. Our R&D staff has increased the daily testing capacity from 1,200 to 10,000 tests, and has vacated six floors to transform them into a standard-compliant testing area. ”
"But here's the problem, hospitals, CDCs and the general public generally don't trust third-party testing agencies. The vast majority of people are certainly reluctant to come here for testing, and hospitals are not willing to hand over samples to us for testing. ”
"The testing department of the hospital has the testing of all the testing items in the hospital, not only the equipment is relatively old, but also the efficiency is low, the results are slow, and the single-day testing capacity of nucleic acid testing is also very limited, usually only 100 to a few hundred. ”
"This has created a very embarrassing situation in nucleic acid testing, on the one hand, the major public hospitals are too busy, and it may take several days for testers to get the results. On the other hand, the third-party testing institutions are indeed 'not full', and a large number of sites and equipment are idle. ”
"We now receive less than 2,000 samples a day, which is a drop in the bucket for our tens of thousands of testing capabilities. The same is true of the Shengda Health Testing Center a few hundred meters away, with a daily production capacity of more than 5,000 tests, which only receives about 1,000 tests per day, and a large number of resources are idle. ”
"It's not that I'm worried about how much we will lose, it's that we feel that we can't play our due role as a third-party testing agency, and we feel that we can't live up to the people of Jiangcheng. ”
"If this continues, a large number of vacancies in testing capacity, the city-wide testing speed cannot keep up, and a large number of patients cannot be diagnosed, which will cause many patients to miss the best time for treatment and turn from mild to severe. ”
Zhang Xinhuo asked: "Then what are the advantages and disadvantages of the accuracy and reliability of your test results compared with the test results of public hospitals?"
He Xiaolin said: "Our equipment is better than traditional equipment, and the testing personnel have many years of testing experience and special training, and the results are only higher than those of public hospitals." Moreover, our equipment has a very high degree of automation, which greatly improves the accuracy of the results and the safety of the inspectors. ”
"In terms of nucleic acid extraction, we use a one-stop automated extraction method, which can extract nearly 100 samples at most in one hour. Compared with the traditional manual wearing protective clothing and taking a sample in 2 hours, it is equivalent to us flying on the runway in a plane, and they are still struggling to walk along the sheep intestine trail. ”
Zhang Xinhuo asked: "Since there are so many advantages, are there any relevant support policies above?"
He Xiaolin shook his head and said: "Even though the laboratory departments and CDC of some hospitals have been overwhelmed and do not turn off the lights 24 hours a day, our side is still in a state of 'no rice to cook'.
The above only hand-picks the names of our third-party testing institutions, but there is no clear relevant policy support, and it is still difficult for us. ”
Needless to say, the importance of nucleic acid testing is clear to Zhang Xinhuo.
CT imaging can detect ground-glass opacities in the lungs, but this is only an adjunct. Whether it is a confirmed patient, recovered and discharged from the hospital, or a close contact released from isolation, viral nucleic acid testing is the most convincing "gold standard".
If efficient nucleic acid testing is not mentioned to a sufficient level of importance, and it cannot be efficiently matched with the two Shenshan hospitals and the cabin hospital, it will definitely slow down the pace of fighting the epidemic in Jiangcheng and even the whole country.
He Xiaolin added: "The current processing method is still to send the samples to the CDC and major hospitals first. ”
"If a hospital reports that they can't process so many test samples, the extra test samples will be sent to our third-party testing institutions. So the CDC and the hospital are still the main force, and we are eating food that they can't eat. ”
"Dean He, please be cautious. Zhang kindly reminded him that this analogy was not appropriate.
He stared into Dean He's eyes and asked, "So, what do you want me to do?"
Zhang Xinhuo's directness made He Xiaolin slightly embarrassed, he was free to test and take him to visit the laboratory, anyone could see that he had a purpose.
Zhang Xinhuo is not a procrastinator, if it is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people, it doesn't hurt He Xiaolin to say it directly. But if he contains any self-interested purpose, he will never get involved in it.
Xin Yue's words he always kept in mind, "Aren't you mixing in enough things?"
He Xiaolin said: "According to the current policies and regulations, people applying for nucleic acid testing must go through a formal process and go to a designated place to handle it. ”
No wonder there are so few people seen today, but I am afraid that a small number of people can't wait to queue up at the CDC and hospitals to come here privately for testing.
He Xiaolin: "I just want the employees of your company to take a video or do a short live broadcast when they come to do the test, and tell everyone that the testing of our third-party organization is safe and reliable, and it can be trusted, and that's it." ”
"It's as simple as that?"
Zhang Xinhuo muttered in his heart.
It seems that these third-party testing agencies are really having a hard time, although no one admits to deliberately not testing them, but apparently only when the testing capacity of hospitals and CDC cannot be undertaken, they will allocate orders to these third-party institutions.
Chinese culture has always been broad and profound, and this sentence is worth savoring.
He Xiaolin wants the results not only to convince the public, but also to believe them in hospitals and the CDC.
When the public and public opinion are biased towards third-party institutions, hospitals and CDCs also need to consider the wishes and demands of the public, and naturally they will be "forced" to hand over more orders to them.
This move seems to be a clever move to attack Wei from the east and to the west, and it is undeniably a clever move.
And once hospitals and the CDC hand over large numbers of test samples to third-party testing providers, they are freed up to do more.
They can even concentrate on sample collection and leave all the testing to these third-party agencies.
In this way, the front-end and back-end work mode are formed, which can greatly improve the sample sampling and detection efficiency of the entire Jiangcheng.
This is only the first step of He Xiaolin's plan, and his deeper purpose is to greatly increase the weight of third-party testing institutions in the medical community through these operations, and prepare for the smooth formation of direct cooperation with the two Shenshan hospitals and the cabin hospital.
