Lab Management
A laboratory sample has a journey: collection, identification, processing, validation and release.
Lab Management
Keep the person and the record connected
Software should make its current position and the next responsible person clear. We discuss barcode use, rejected samples and how an approved result reaches the requesting team.
Workflows to examine
- Sample tracking & barcoding
- Automated test workflows
- Results validation & release
- EHR-integrated result delivery
- Turnaround time reporting
In practice
Lab Management: a practical example
Review a fictional sample from receipt to an authorised result. Include a sample that needs a repeat check and follow its identifier throughout the process. Qualified laboratory staff need to define the acceptance rules, review responsibilities and information permitted at each stage.
An illustrative scenario to discuss when planning your project.
