Simplifying laboratory hematology 

Implementing data-driven solutions to increase quality and efficiency

From laboratory information systems (LIS) to middleware, IT has clearly established itself as the backbone of the clinical laboratory. While the utility of IT is undeniable, so is its complexity, often requiring considerable expertise to properly align informatic solutions with the goals of laboratorians. This challenge is even more evident in hematology, with specialized needs that set it apart from other core lab testing. However, modern data management software is making it easier to increase standardization throughout the lab, in turn elevating quality and efficiency benchmarks in hematology to match high-volume testing counterparts such as chemistry and immunoassay. See how the lab at Swedish Hospital in Chicago has used Atellica Data Manager to streamline hematology result management, implement robust autovalidation capabilities, and integrate Quality Control (QC) processes to optimize the service they provide and reduce the workload burden on their staff.
