Originally presented March 12, 2024
This webinar explores how clinical laboratories are constantly adapting to change. A source of continuous change is related to equipment lifecycles, such as automated analyzers and automation that are implemented and replaced over time. Benefits of newer technologies include decreased specimen volume requirements, less need for repeat testing, and greater throughput. Implementation of new analyzers and replacement of automation equipment in the Central Clinical Laboratory at Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minnesota, prompted the laboratory to reassess blood collection volumes for commonly ordered tests. Moreover, occasions where the laboratory may contribute to patient safety and satisfaction by way of specimen optimization have inspired a programmatic approach.
