With many organizations using a digital-first approach, it is easy to assume that is always the best option. But is it? And what about for your laboratory outreach program? Laboratories should consider these seven S’s when deciding whether connectivity will align with the goals of their outreach programs.
Depending on the types of specimens that are referred to the outreach laboratory, there may be an opportunity to share a customer performance update report with the client so that they can align with, or even develop their own laboratory continuous improvement initiatives. This data-sharing provides valuable metrics and allows the client an opportunity to improve their services. Through identifying issues and working together to resolve them, the customer and the laboratory are aligned in their mission of putting the needs of the patient first.
