Ortho Clinical Diagnostics Recognized with Two Global Business Excellence Awards

The Global Business Excellence Awards, which recognize and reward business excellence across all sectors, are among the world's highest-profile business honors. The awards pride themselves on having a large panel of independent expert judges who select winners according to strict criteria for each category and sector, focusing on financial results, innovation and benefits to customers, employees, investors and communities. The awards attract a wide range of global entries, ranging from large international companies and public-sector organizations to dynamic and innovative small enterprises.

"Ortho Clinical Diagnostics has improved the immunohematology process with an automated platform called ORTHO VISION® that can efficiently match a patient needing a transfusion with the right blood," the Global Business Excellence Awards said upon presenting the award to Ortho.  "By using the latest Information Technology, Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is helping to lead immunohematology into the future and has helped give hospitals enhanced blood matching processing, helping them to deliver increased services to patients with fewer staff. Ortho Clinical Diagnostics is a pioneer in using technology in medicine and ORTHO VISION® is brilliant technological innovation."^[i]

Ortho recently also celebrated the 1,000^th installation of the ORTHO VISION^® platform worldwide. The platform, which is comprised of the ORTHO VISION^® Analyzer and the ORTHO VISION^® Max Analyzer, offers a solution that improves workflow and standardizes systems and processes. MD Buyline, an independent, evidence-based research firm, recently released its Q3 2016 vendor rankings report, which placed Ortho at the top of the blood bank automation category with a 9.3 composite rating. The score is based on six factors: system performance, reliability, installation/implementation, application training and service repair quality and response time. 

"We are committed to helping hospitals and blood banks perform immunohematology testing as quickly, efficiently and accurately as possible," said Heidi Casaletto, vice president transfusion medicine at Ortho Clinical Diagnostics.  "The Global Business Excellence awards, coupled with our recent achievement of 1,000 ORTHO VISION^® platform installations, further build on our commitment to excellence in the transfusion medicine industry."
