We realize that in healthcare, you can’t go it alone. It takes partners and associates coming together in collaboration to achieve efficient, cost-effective care for patients. We also understand the financial and operational pressures faced by today’s hospitals and healthcare systems, because we are a hospital too. Group purchasing organizations (GPOs) and purchasing groups (PGs) help hospitals by shouldering the burden of negotiating the best member pricing and benefits with quality suppliers. At Mayo Clinic Laboratories, we welcome the opportunity to serve members by establishing relationships with their GPOs and PGs to provide member access to our broad esoteric testing menu and services.
Building laboratory value
The financial pressure on hospitals continues. To help, we can support hospital laboratories by evaluating current utilization, capacity, and processes to help reduce waste, find efficiencies, and maximize capabilities for optimal financial performance.
We also offer support in building and expanding laboratory outreach programs. Our experienced, industry-leading outreach consultants offer unparalleled insights and experience to help hospital-based laboratories evolve from cost-centers to revenue generators. Learn more about how we can support laboratories’ optimization and revenue-generation goals.
Driving efficiency through consolidation
Most hospital laboratories find themselves sending tests to an increasing number of commercial and specialty reference laboratories. Managing the complexities of these various relationships increases operational burden, staff workload, and inconsistencies in testing methods and interpretation of results.
Hospitals and health systems can optimize their laboratory testing referrals by leveraging our extensive test menu, which includes advanced diagnostics, cutting-edge technology, and clinically relevant new tests across our full spectrum of medical subspecialties.
“The type of service we provide is really tailored to the needs of the hospital or to the healthcare system. And their patients are no different than the patients that walk through our doors.”
William Morice, M.D., Ph.D., CEO and President of Mayo Clinic Laboratories
Sharing knowledge and empowering staff
We support care teams by providing insights and education as they strive to solve the most complex medical challenges. Our education offerings range from conferences to on-demand programs to webinars — many of which offer CME credit. View our extensive educational offerings.
In addition, hospital and laboratory staff have direct access to Mayo Clinic physicians and scientists, who can help with optimizing test orders and interpreting results. Mayo Clinic Laboratories provides each client with a dedicated team of account, clinical, and laboratory technical professionals.
Prioritizing patient care
With guidance from our practicing physicians, we continuously develop testing algorithms, invest in research, and develop new tests so that patients have access to the best testing available. As a hospital-based reference laboratory, our focus is helping clients prevent overutilization of laboratory testing, drive efficiency through consolidation of send-out testing, and generate hospital revenue by establishing and growing lab outreach programs. And, we provide benefits only available through a connection with a world-class medical institution: access to our Mayo Clinic physicians and consultants, educational offerings, and the most cutting-edge, clinically-based testing available in the market.

Mayo Clinic Laboratories now offers the first preeclampsia-specific test (Mayo ID: PERA) that can be used to stratify patients into low or high-risk categories, indicating whether a patient is at risk for developing preeclampsia with severe features. With this information, clinicians can make more informed decisions about hospitalization, monitoring, more frequent checkups, and even early delivery.
This week's research roundup feature: Incapacitated regulatory T cells (Tregs) contribute to immune-mediated diseases. Inflammatory Tregs are evident during human inflammatory bowel disease (IBD); however, mechanisms driving the development of these cells and their function are not well understood. Therefore, we investigated the role of cellular metabolism in Tregs relevant to gut homeostasis.
In this episode of Mayo Clinic Laboratories’ “Leveraging the Laboratory” podcast, host Jane Hermansen, outreach manager at Mayo Clinic Laboratories, talks with Erin Hoffman, division director of hospital sales and services at Mayo Clinic Laboratories. They discuss the value of the hospital laboratory, the challenges and opportunities facing community labs today, and how to have impactful conversations with hospital leadership.
This week's research roundup feature: Measles virus (MV) vaccine strains have shown significant preclinical antitumor activity against glioblastoma (GBM), the most lethal glioma histology. In this first in human trial (NCT00390299), a carcinoembryonic antigen-expressing oncolytic measles virus derivative (MV-CEA), was administered in recurrent GBM patients either at the resection cavity (Group A), or, intratumorally on day 1, followed by a second dose administered in the resection cavity after tumor resection on day 5 (Group B).

In a competitive outpatient testing market, choosing a laboratory is discretionary. With the goal of becoming the laboratory of choice for discretionary outpatient testing, it no longer matters if it is called “inreach” or “outreach.” While these terms may be decent descriptors for a process, they do not begin to describe the true value of this critical community laboratory activity. The value of a laboratory outreach program spans all areas of relevance for a health system. Through supporting clinical integration and community health initiatives, the laboratory is a critical element, enabled and supported by a successful outreach activity.
In this episode of “Lab Medicine Rounds,” host Justin Kreuter, M.D., and Rondell Graham, M.B.B.S., delve into the critical decisions involved in contemplating a role on the staff at the institution where you receive your training.
