ASSESSMENT OF DAY-TO-DAY LAB OPERATIONS

Whether it’s a day or weeklong observation, our team of solution specialists gets to know your lab inside and out. Our holistic value analysis approach focuses on more than just reagents and instruments; it incorporates and measures all environmental factors that impact your lab, from pre-analytic and post-analytic workflows to review of maintenance records. By determining the cost of your current process, we can identify if there is a more effective substitute to optimize your lab services.
 

“I’ve never seen a company come in and learn so much about our whole process and how our laboratory works.”
 

– DIRECTOR OF A LARGE LOS ANGELES AREA REFERENCE LABORATORY 
AREAS OF IMPROVEMENT AND OPPORTUNITY

The Abbott team works with you to identify assays, equipment, and services that will help meet your objectives. When we recommend a solution, we’ll calculate and quantify how this solution will improve your operations whether it's in cost savings or an increase in quality.

DATA DRIVEN, MEASURABLE SOLUTIONS

Our value assessment will outline a practical approach on how to improve your lab operations and can include

PROCESS AND OPERATIONS ANALYSIS 

Address flow of information (data) and samples. Improve on labor (hands-on time) and waste.

ASSET UTILIZATION 

Explore bringing tests in-house, expanding test menu, and/or consolidating tests onto the fewest platforms.

IT SYSTEMS INTEGRATION 

Develop IT recommendations to minimize human error, automate reporting, and improve client services.

CAPACITY MODELING AND RESOURCE FORECASTING

Explore opportunities to increase testing volume without adding additional instruments, staff, or extending work schedules

QUALITY CONTROL AND QUALITY ASSURANCE 

Evaluate results looking for insufficient amount of samples, dilutions, assay incongruities or calibration frequency and calculate the cost and potential patient impact of such occurrences.

PROVEN IMPLEMENTATION METHODOLOGY

Our detailed multi-step implementation process ensures your lab’s success from delivery and installation of solutions to the final training and handoff. We partner with your team every step of the way, including creating and executing change management plans, to make sure solutions are seamlessly integrated into your lab operations with minimal downtime.

“The process to get the instruments installed and the staff trained was excellent. They succeed in addressing the change management of the staff who were hesitant in trying something new.”

THE ABBOTT ACCOUNTABILITY PROMISE

During our business review, we'll revisit the promised results. If performance standards are not being met, together we will readjust and develop a work plan to achieve your stated goals. Additionally, throughout the year, your lab will be supported with ongoing consultation, troubleshooting, on-site preventive maintenance, and servicing so your lab is operating at top performance.
