DASA is present in the outpatient and inpatient market by offering a wide range of Diagnostic Medicine services in its Patient Service Centers and in hospitals which it holds partnership.
To run the clinical tests, the samples are collected in the Patient Service Centers and transported to the nearest central laboratory. Approximately 90% of the results of routine tests can be withdrawn in the PSCs or safely accessed by Internet, in the same day of the collection. The other tests demand more than one day to be processed and, in general, are returned in two days.
The central laboratories process the PSC samples and also the non-urgent test samples, collected in hospitals served by the inpatient segment, whenever those hospitals do not process them internally. The urgent tests are analyzed in the same inpatient unit.
For the imaging diagnostic service, DASA relies on the Report Center, where the images received from the PSC are analyzed. As soon as the report is ready, it is sent back to the PSC and the client can withdraw it.
Another service rendered by the outpatient and inpatient segment is the multifunctional clinical trials for pharmaceutical corporations. The trials, normally involve the performance of diagnostic tests in volunteers and the analysis of the results can take months, or even years.
