Deal struck to provide lab services to Santa Clara IPAs
Stanford Hospital & Clinics is partnering with the Santa Clara County Individual Practice Association to offer expanded lab services to SCCIPA patients effective Jan. 1, the hospital announced.
Stanford will provide a wide range of standard and specialized testing, including genetic and molecular tests which competing labs often do not perform. The hospital plans to establish 17 to 19 satellite patient service centers across Santa Clara County as well as a stat diagnostic facility. The contract is projected to generate about 2 million lab tests per year, the hospital said.

AutoPulse
Resuscitation System
Bioengineering
receives Degree granting authority
Stanford researchers, including Mehrdad Rezaee, clinical science research associate in the Department of Medicine (cardiovascular), recently found that the AutoPulse Resuscitation System, shown here, is more effective than CPR at restoring blood pressure after sudden cardiac arrest. The device can deliver up to 80 chest compressions per minute for at least 30 minutes on a single battery and appears to improve neurologically intact survival compared to conventional CPR. Stanford has a research contract with the manufacturer, Revivant Corp. of Sunnyvale.
