AmPath represents a new beginning for pathology services in India, offering a wide-ranging menu of the most advanced tests available anywhere in the world. It is the only lab in India to collaborate with a US hospital pathology lab.

Because it employs the same operational model and adheres to the same strict policies and procedures adopted by leading American university pathology labs, AmPath delivers service of unrivaled quality and accuracy.

To ensure adherence to these high standards, AmPath has created a Scientific Advisory Board. The SAB includes US Board-certified pathologists who evaluate the competencies of AmPath's scientific personnel and support AmPath's endeavor to educate its clinical staff regarding the most recent advanced in medical care and laboratory science.

Pathology services have evolved. New tests facilitate faster diagnosis. Advanced protocols make screening for a broad spectrum of health risks possible. Highly specific studies guide doctors to choose optimal therapies from the onset of treatment. Pathology rests at the core of modern medicine, helping physicians navigate clinical evidence and plan clear care paths.

AmPath believes in the pathologist’s role as an integral part of the patient’s medical team. Our doctors confer and consult closely with ordering physicians to interpret results and make accurate, actionable diagnoses.

AmPath, thus, follows a process-driven approach that allows us to live up to our promise of meeting American university standards, delivering 100% reliable performance, and producing unquestionably precise results on every test, every time.

The pathology of today is the core data source for evidence-based medicine. AmPath will set the standards in India for the laboratory’s role in patient care.

THE SERVICE-ORIENTED PATH

Specimen pickupAmPath provides dependable specimen pickup and transportation in a secure and temperature controlled environment with tightly managed specimen identification protocols to confirm no mixing of samples.

Consistent performanceAmPath adheres to stringent processes to ensure highly accurate and replicable results with excellent turnaround time.

Superior communicationAt AmPath, we have developed a customized Lab Information System (LIS) to produce clear, concise lab reports. We employ experienced staff pathologists to discuss specimen status at all times during the testing process.

Expert assistanceAmPath’s pathologists are renowned as leaders in their various disciplines. Together, they provide assistance in interpreting results and identifying the next steps in treatment.

Multispecialty back-upAmPath has immediate access to the services of well-trained doctors and medical professionals who can assist in the diagnosis and treatment of a wide range of medical conditions.

AmPath believes educating the Indian medical community enhances the well-being of the entire population. Our clinicians, therefore, actively engage in conducting workshops and Continuing Medical Education (CME) programs targeted at technical and medical staff outside of the pathology discipline.

We aim to bring the world’s highest standards in pathology to the forefront of Indian medicine for an audience ranging from front-line clinicians to lab assistants.

THE LEARNING PATH

THE TECHNOLOGICAL PATH

AmPath has invested in cutting-edge equipment that renders pathology services with utmost precision. By putting this equipment together with a high level of automation, AmPath advances pathology services in India to a new frontier. Such use of high-tech testing equipment and automation helps AmPath to offer an incredibly broad spectrum of services and also facilitates error-free diagnosis.

In collaboration with RT-MediBus Technologies, we have developed a dynamic Lab Information System that promotes paperless electronic reporting which, in turn, reduces turnaround times. The LIS enables clinicians to register for tests right at their desktops and simultaneously allows our technical teams to obtain relevant clinical information for data correlation and advice for follow-up investigations.

Additional key technology initiatives at AmPath include: a specimen tracking system, cloud-based servers to enable patient login with instant access to reports, data mining for research and audits, and Electronic Medical Records (EMR) that can seamlessly integrate patients’ lab results.

one of the first installations of its kindin India, to aid in lymphoma/leukemia diagnosis

Histopathology • Sub-specialty reporting

• Strict adherence to College of American

Pathologists guidelines with protocol-based reports including relevant diagnostics and prognostic information

• Complete theranostic reports with integrated

histopathology and molecular pathology information

Molecular Pathology• First-of- its-kind chip-based gene

sequencing platform that allows targeted and efficient sequencing of specific genes or genomic regions thus breaking clinico-laboratory stigmas associated with conventional molecular methods that are lengthy, complex, and usually require large amounts of input DNA

• A groundbreaking workflow enabling

the rapid sequencing of hundreds of known cancer causing mutations with low-frequency allele detection. Utilizing low DNA input, this single-tube workflow is as simple as setting up a one-step PCR reaction. The results generated therein provide invaluable assistance to oncologists in selecting and maneuvering targeted genetic therapies - making cancer treatment successful and also cost effective
