How Standardization and Enhanced Reporting Capabilities Improve Lab Workflow and Overall Business Operations

How can we run a better, more successful lab business?

That’s a common question repeatedly asked throughout the industry as clinical labs and pathology groups continue providing critical diagnostic services despite facing significant headwinds like rising costs, falling margins, increased regulations, and a widespread shortage of qualified personnel. 

Yes, the challenges are great, but success is possible for forward-thinking organizations that understand the value of emerging technologies that support streamlined operations.

You’re invited to join Kristie Becerra (LIS System Administrator at Pathology Consultants) and Allison Still (LIS Product Specialist at LigoLab) as they host our next webinar and discuss the steps PC leadership took to gain more control over its business operations and workflow processes. 

What Will Be Covered

• How PC opted for independence and control of its operations three years ago by transitioning away from a shared LIS system with another healthcare organization, and how that move put the organization on its current positive path.

• A recap of PC’s approach while evaluating laboratory information system vendors to find the features and functionality to support anatomic and clinical pathology growth.

• How PC’s modern LIS system helped improve workflow, productivity, and communication within the lab, successfully addressing and overcoming initial staff resistance to change.

• A demonstration of LigoLab’s advanced functionality, specifically customization options, synoptic reporting support, and automated CPT and ICD-10 coding, and how these capabilities have increased efficiencies in high-volume departments (like dermatopathology) by removing repetitive tasks and improving accuracy.

• The significance of data consistency and standardization across all departments and providers in support of more efficient healthcare documentation and lab billing accuracy.

• The steps PC took to expand test offerings and bring previously outsourced PCR tests (EGFR, MSI, BRAF) in-house to improve financial feasibility, reduce turnaround times, and enhance client and patient relationships.

• PC’s continued leveraging of the LIS system to support more growth, and how the group aims to standardize diagnostic reporting and enhance other high-volume departments further, such as gastrointestinal pathology.
