Maximizing capacity: the impact of technology innovations and change management on microbiology labs

98% of in-patients will undergo a diagnostic test during a hospital stay.¹ With the increased focus on the accuracy of diagnostic test results needed to inform decisions to treat outbreaks, antimicrobial resistance, and hospital acquired infections, optimizing your microbiology lab has never been more important. What does this look like? First, this means standardizing testing in the lab to produce consistent, timely quality results, and scaling the capacity of the lab to handle surges in patient specimen volumes. Next, it’s about accelerating turn-around time for specimen processing, so your lab can support the speed of diagnostic testing needed for clinicians to make the timely decisions required to manage their patients.^2,3 During this webinar you will learn how automation, technology and change management can help improve your laboratory productivity and KPIs, impact patient management and deliver on your business case.
