Internal assessments are integral to a laboratory’s quality management system (QMS). They allow laboratories to evaluate compliance with regulatory and accreditation requirements, and laboratory operational practices. Internal assessments provide opportunities to enhance quality and continually improve the laboratory.

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.

This “Continual Improvement” webinar will provide an overview of new or changed regulations for 2022, and other regulatory issues that have the potential to affect clinical laboratories. The latter half of the year has been very busy for laboratory-related regulations and legislation, including the potential VALID Act and its impact to laboratory developed tests (LDTs), the SALSA Act which seeks to address reimbursement issues with the Protecting Access to Medicare Act (PAMA), and the potential end of the COVID-19 public health emergency.

PACE / State of FL - This “Continual Improvement” webinar provides an overview of automating laboratory workflows and its impact on the overall efficiency of testing by speeding up tasks, minimizing waste, reducing reagent usage, and facilitating higher throughput. Optimizing operational efficiency through automation leads to lower running costs, the elimination of errors inherent in manual processes, a reduction in repetitive motion injuries, and improved accuracy and reliability of data.
