Phlebotomy and specimen collection services are on the forefront of patient diagnosis. However, more often than not, they are over shadowed by testing laboratories because they deliver the final test results. The focus of this webinar is to highlight key operational metrics that will help you run a successful phlebotomy laboratory service.
