AHS announces community lab transition from APL to DynaLIFE
Alberta Health Services (AHS) has announced that community lab services in larger urban centres in the province have transitioned from Alberta Precision Laboratories to DynaLIFE Medical Labs.
In addition, officials note that DynaLIFE labs are now testing specimens from hospitals throughout the province.
This is said to be the first of three phases of the provincial transition to DynaLIFE, and impacts North, Edmonton, Central and Calgary zones of Alberta Health Services (AHS). Officials say this change will improve lab services for Albertans and create savings that will be reinvested into other healthcare services.
“Contracting community lab services to DynaLIFE will give Albertans better access to high-quality community lab services, while generating cost savings that will be reinvested into other health services,” says Minister of Health Jason Copping. “DynaLIFE has a proven history of providing innovative lab services and Albertans can be assured they are getting the best care possible.”
