The LADR laboratory association Dr. Kramer & Kollegen is a medical and owner-managed association of independent medical laboratory medical supply centers (MVZ) and laboratories. They each have the abbreviation LADR in their name. This is due to the formulation L aborärztliche A rarbeitsgemeinschaft für D iagnostik und R ationalisierung , which was first used in 1974 .

The LADR Laboratory Association is not operationally active , but serves to represent its member laboratories , the regional LADR laboratory associations and as a professional medical consultancy network of experts. The LADR laboratory centers provide services in various areas. These include patient care through laboratory medicine , hygiene , infectious diseases and medical microbiology as well as human genetics , pathology and transfusion medicine . This also includes services in the natural sciences with food chemistry and food microbiology as well as water and environmental analysis . The portfolio also includes special analysis in the field of animal genetics and ancestry analysis in humans.

history

Foundation and first years

Approval to set up the medical laboratory
The founder: Siegfried Kramer

After the end of the Second World War in Germany, medical specialists were acquired by the Allied troops. The city of Geesthacht had previously been the target of bombing attacks due to the Krümmel dynamite factory . Epidemics and diseases threatened to break out in cities, villages and refugee camps . The occupation authorities therefore declared the region a disaster area. On May 31, 1945, issued 27 Field Surgical Unit of the British Army the doctorate Doctor Siegfried Kramer (27 December 1912-25. March 1996) due to its bacteriological qualification approval for a private laboratory practice. This was the first laboratory doctor's practice in Germany and the "nucleus" of the LADR laboratory network, which became the LADR central laboratory Dr. Kramer & Kollegen developed further. The establishment of a bacteriological , serological and medical-chemical research institute began in the Susannen house of the former Edmundsthal pulmonary sanatorium . Initially, the focus was on analyzes of samples from camps and hospitals, particularly for typhoid , paratyphoid fever , typhus and venereal diseases .

1950 to 2000

On June 1, 1950, the current location in Lauenburger Strasse was inaugurated near the hospital in Geesthacht . Hospitals, offices and resident doctors in the region were initially approached via an improvised courier service. A central water supply and sewerage system did not exist at that time. On behalf of the health department , Siegfried Kramer and his employees therefore regularly carried out water tests on drinking water wells. By the end of the 1960s, the laboratory expanded its range of services and continuously invested in new laboratory equipment and apparatus, above all to meet the growing need for medical laboratory tests.

At the beginning of the 1970s, the environmental movement strengthened and the need for water and soil analyzes increased. Toxicological investigations became part of the analysis spectrum. Strict quality requirements, the growing number of statutory regulations, an increased level of technology and decreasing throughput times changed laboratory work. Against this background, the laboratory founder and his son Detlef Kramer convinced many colleagues of a cooperation. In 1974 the Association of South Holstein Doctors was initially founded regionally. In the same year, the national working group for diagnostics and rationalization was established . In 1977 Detlef Kramer, who also had a doctorate in medicine, joined the laboratory's medical management team.

ISG Intermed Service GmbH & Co. KG was founded in 1985, regardless of the medical laboratory work . The existing courier service for the transport of medical laboratory samples from patients should also be used to deliver medical consumables. Today focused ISG Intermed Service GmbH & Co. KG on the sample transport out to the supply of providers in healthcare with practice and practice supplies, medical technology and other logistical services.

In 1995, the Vita Oy laboratory was founded in Finland , which was the first time that the association operated internationally. In 1999, the LADR laboratory network in Germany counted eleven cooperating specialist laboratories and medical supply centers and cooperated with 30 laboratory communities.

In the 21st century

In 2005 the founding laboratory in Geesthacht was renamed LADR GmbH MVZ Dr. Kramer & colleagues around. In 2012, the internist and laboratory physician Jan Kramer, who completed his doctorate and habilitation , took over the medical management and management of LADR GmbH MVZ Dr. Kramer & Kollegen ( brand name : LADR Central Laboratory Dr. Kramer & Kollegen ) as well as the medical management of all laboratory companies in the LADR laboratory network. In the summer of the same year, the new construction of the Geesthacht location was completed. The 2500 m² modern laboratory space was created on the premises of the traditional company. Regional companies were hired for the construction, air conditioning with heat recovery was installed and the building wing was connected to the municipal district heating network. The fully automated laboratory line of the hematology department was declared the European reference laboratory by the Japanese manufacturer Sysmex in the same year . In July 2017, the department was molecular biology of this laboratory in Geesthacht for innovative diagnostics to identify tumor - mutations from the blood ( Liquid Biopsy , liquid biopsy ) declared a center of excellence.

Composite structure

The LADR central laboratory Dr. Kramer & Colleagues in Geesthacht (2018)

The laboratory network consists of around 30 independently operating individual companies. As the holding company since 2012, acts ISG Intermed Holding GmbH & Co. KG ( seat : Geesthacht), which is in the ownership of three doctors of the Kramer family. In addition, three companies abroad - one of them in Helsinki - are joint ventures . Another company is considered an associated company (status: end of 2015).

The network includes 18 specialist laboratories, 39 basic laboratories and 24 hospital laboratories (as of March 2018). The vast majority of all laboratories are in northern Germany. Internationally, in addition to a company in Helsinki, the association includes companies and holdings in Saint Petersburg ( Russia ), Katowice ( Poland ) and Cluj ( Romania ).

Today ISG Intermed Service GmbH & Co. KG ( Intermed ) acts as a specialized non-medical service provider for companies inside and outside the LADR laboratory network.

The LADR GmbH MVZ Dr. Kramer & Kollegen , based in Geesthacht, legal successor to the "nucleus" of the association, is fully consolidated in the financial statements of ISG Intermed Holding GmbH & Co. KG . This also applies to a further eleven companies that have the abbreviation LADR in their company name .

Range of services

Scheme of a test run in medical laboratories

For the LADR laboratory network, medical-laboratory diagnostics are central to patient care. Around 11,000 different examination procedures can be carried out. More than 370 clinics and more than 20,000 resident doctors are among the senders from the LADR laboratory network (as of March 2018).

Further diagnostic services include food analysis, water and environmental analysis, and hygiene services.

In order to reduce bureaucracy advance in the health and medical practices at the paperless laboratory assignment with a qualified electronic signature support, was the L aboratory O rder e ntry M odule (LOEM) a pilot project to the panel medical Confederation started. Approval followed after the successful test phase. Nationwide use began in mid-2017.

ISG Intermed Service GmbH & Co. KG is responsible for the nationwide sample and findings logistics . In addition, the partner company of the LADR laboratory network primarily supplies medical practices, medical laboratories and supply centers, hospitals and other players in the health and care market with medical consumables. Services, for example in the areas of hygiene and quality management , disposal services (practice waste , file destruction) and mail and parcel delivery complete this range of services.
