Learn Lean: Simple Ways to Improve Lab Efficiency and Accuracy

Unless otherwise noted, P.A.C.E.™ accreditation will expire six months after the live webinar.

Apply Proven Principles to Your Work

Reimbursement for many tests is being reduced every year, and the CMS has stated that this will continue through 2020. As a result laboratories must become more efficient, and applying proven lean principles to laboratory work and structure can help.

Lean manufacturing is based on small batches and limited inventory — familiar concepts in modern clinical labs. With small adjustments in workflow processes, many laboratories have become significantly more efficient. In this P.A.C.E.-accredited Fisher Healthcare webinar, you’ll learn how to apply lean principles to your work and laboratory to identify improvements and increase efficiency.

Learning Objectives

This webinar will help you:

• Explain the basic principles of lean workflow planning
• Demonstrate familiarity with the tools of lean manufacturing
• Apply lean principles in your laboratory to improve efficiency and reduce costs and the risk of errors
