Abstract
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 make informed 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.2,3During this webinar you will learn how automation, technology and change management can help improve your laboratory productivity KPIs and impact patient management.
Learning Objectives:
Describe how the combination of automated technologies and change management can improve laboratory capacity and productivity.
Illustrate how improvements in laboratory operational efficiency benefit turnaround time for patient results.
Understand how automated solutions for MALDI-ToF target preparation can help streamline labor-intensive laboratory processes
