Case Study: Kantonsspital Fribourg speeds up lab workflows and cuts IT costs with AgilePoint

Kantonsspital Fribourg Speeds Up its Lab Procedures, while Lowering Operating Costs

Kantonsspital Fribourg, a 350‑bed cantonal hospital with 1,500 employees, faced a critical challenge: its lab document and quality management system could not meet Swiss SAS accreditation due to capacity limits, PDF conversion errors and document retrieval failures. The hospital needed a Microsoft SharePoint–compatible, SAS‑compliant solution to automate, standardize and scale lab document workflows.

The IT team deployed AgilePoint integrated with Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server, Visio and InfoPath to model and automate approval, publication and archiving processes and to centralize document control. The new system accelerated and secured document handling, increased staff productivity, reduced infrastructure costs, passed the SAS audit and delivered a scalable, easily searchable platform for future expansion.
